Boating Safety and Education for All
About 85% of all boating deaths occur on boats where the operator has not completed a boating safety education course. The California Boater Card education program is designed to increase boating safety on California waterways. Check out these pages for boating safety and education information.

Boater Education Requirements 
The good news: Boaters can prevent most accidents by learning safe boating techniques and using common sense. California boating safety courses are designed to provide boaters with state specific boating laws and federal navigation requirements in many different environments to suit individual boater needs. There are home study, classroom, online and on-the-water courses.The California Boater Card requirements can be found in the links below. If you are looking for a basic course to fulfill the card requirements, be sure to check that it is on the list of approved courses. If you are looking for more advanced courses, check out the many providers and aquatic centers throughout the state. Parents and teachers can give their children and students a head start on boating and water safety through the K-12 AquaSmart safety curriculum.

K-12 Education
Boating and Waterways is mandated (Section 51879.7 of the California Education Code)  to provide fundamental water safety training for all the children of the state, so California’s youth will be able to enjoy water recreation while avoiding its hazards. DBW developed the award-winning AquaSMART curriculum program available to K-12 teachers and parents. The division is also active in many youth outreach events and through traditional and online media to fulfill its responsibility of boating safety education for California children and youth.

School Bus and Farm Labor Transportation Safety Program The California Highway Patrol (CHP) partners with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the California Department of Education (CDE) to assist with the testing school bus driver applicants and farm labor transportation drivers.  The CHP takes school bus and farm labor vehicle safety seriously.  As such, the CHP works to promote safe driving practices through a combination of partnership, public education, and enforcement efforts.                                                                      Special Driver CertificatesGenerally, to obtain a special certificate from the CHP, applicants must:1.    Obtain a commercial learner’s permit with a (S) School Bus and/or (P) Passenger endorsement (DMV), or Class B commercial driver’s license with (P) endorsement for General Public Paratransit Vehicle and Farm Labor Vehicle.  2.    Obtain a Special Driver Certificate from the CHP.  This includes completing:a.    Application (CHP 295)b.    Live Scan (background check).c.    Written Test.d.    First Aid Examination. 3.    Completion of behind-the-wheel training (CDE/School District). 4.    The CHP checks the Entry Level Driver Training in the DMV’s automated system to verify required training has been completed.  Applicants should confirm with their certified school bus instructor that all required information has been entered into the Training Provider Registry prior to the behind-the-wheel drive test.To verify your own training has been entered in the TPR, use this link: Training Provider Registry (dot.gov)5. Complete the practical examinations, which includes a successful demonstration of a pre-trip inspection and the completion of a behind-the-wheel test. This practical examination satisfies requirements for the CHP Special Driver Certificate and the CLASS B commercial driver license.NOTE: There are six catagories of Special Driver Certificate, including: School Bus Driver, Youth Bus Driver, School Pupil Activity Bus Driver, General Public Paratransit Vehicle, Farm Labor Vehicle and Vehicle for Developmentlly Disabled Persons.

Consejos para una conducción segura en invierno

 Consejos para una conducción segura en invierno
 
Conduce con seguridad
La principal causa de muerte y lesiones durante las tormentas de invierno son los accidentes de transporte.
Cuando azoten las tormentas de invierno, no conduzca a menos que sea necesario.
Mantenga los vehículos libres de hielo y nieve. Una buena visión es la clave para una buena conducción.
Planifica tus paradas y mantén más distancia entre autos. Esté extra alerta. Recuerde, los ventisqueros pueden esconder a los niños más pequeños. Siempre haga coincidir su velocidad con la carretera y las condiciones climáticas.
Algunos de los consejos más importantes para conducir con seguridad en invierno incluyen:
Programe tiempo adicional para viajes de invierno y sea paciente durante las operaciones de remoción de hielo y nieve.
Nunca siga un quitanieves demasiado cerca ni intente rebasarlo. Recuerde que la carretera delante de la quitanieves suele estar cubierta de nieve.
Suponga que las superficies de los puentes son resbaladizas, ya que se congelan más rápidamente que las superficies de las carreteras.
