LAKE COUNTY — On Wednesday at 3 p.m., officers from the Lakeport Police Department (LPD) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) conducted a public awareness driver education operation at the Clear Lake High School campus to raise teen driver awareness regarding the California Vehicle Code restrictions for new drivers during their first 12 months of driving. California law restricts new teenage drivers from transporting passengers younger than 20 years old for the first 12 months.
Officers contacted more than 20 teenage drivers during the operation and provided educational information related to their driving restriction. The LPD will be taking enforcement action regarding teen driver restriction violation whenever discovered.
