Amador County – The Amador County Teen Driver Council is sponsoring its annual Teen Driver Night for current and future drivers, next week at Amador High School.

Teen Driver Night is for parents and teens, and will feature guest speakers and presentations. Speakers include Amador County Health Officer Dr. Robert Hartmann, and fourth year medical student Dan Stein.

California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Craig Harmon will also speak, as will parent, Tina Wurzburger. Jackson Police Officer Chris Rice will talk about narcotics, and Anne Lintz of State Farm Insurance will talk about insurance.

Organizers said: “Our goal is to help parents and teens understand the many issues surrounding the pressures on the teen driver” and to offer safety ideas and tips. “It is clear that the more parents involve themselves in the activities of their teen drivers the fewer accidents occur.”

The Teen Driver Night is 7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 8 in the Amador High School cafeteria in Sutter Creek.
