to get the message across to other teenagers after his son son was killed by a distracted driver. >> good morning to you laura, it should not come as any surprise that a number of these drivers heading westbound on 580 to work this morning here by altamont pass are probably on cell phones as we are all well aware is a big no-no. the national highway traffic safety administration tells us that distracted drivers killed almost 3500 people last year. that's why one father from tracy started the get real behind the wheel driving school at the old altamont raceway where he displays the metal pole involved in his son's fatal accident 11 years ago. he hopes other teens get the message. once a month the racetrack closed since 2008 comes back to life. the difference this time, there's no racing. the speeds are capped at 45 miles an hour and most of the drivers aren't licensed to

drive. some as young as 14 years of age. the school allows parents to teach their sons and daughters how to drive in control of conditions without having to worry about outside traffic. during this past sunday briefing, ken reminded the kids not to text and drive. don't end up like his son mike who has killed 11 years ago in tracie when his friend behind the wheel crashed while reaching for a cell phone. >> sharon and i will never be the same type of people we once were. she shares and mine exuberance to have you stay to the club we belong to. >> it's hard because you'll get a text and want to look at it but you're driving so you don't want to get distracted or end up in an accident. you decide to not to look at the text message. >> there's too many people that don't pay attention. there's too many people that are out there, too much in a hurry,

minutes ago that could forever change the way you get your packages. a false alarm, the rubber snake that caused quite the panic in a peninsula neighborhood. to move california forward, we need to help more californians get ahead. that's why antonio villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools... and new career training programs. as mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path.

morning. but temperatures are in the low to mid-50s as you head out getting this tuesday morning started and a look at our day planner for oakland, we'll be at 52 degrees and few clouds through about noon and then we'll get all clear sunshine. temperatures in the low 60s, 7-day forecast is at the bottom of the screen, you'll see we will have some cooler air on the way. as we get a look at highs in the south bay, won't be as warm as yesterday but this is still above normal for this time of year reaching upper 70s and low 80s for the east bay. look for a high of 82 degrees and 78 in fremont. upper 60s for the coast and 69 in san mateo, low 60s around san francisco. the embarcadero, 63 degrees today and 77 in sonoma. if you're heading out to the giants game, it's going to be a nice night for a first pitch at 7:15. we'll see more clouds moving in and will be a touch cooler than

yesterday. breezy ones and it will be in the mid-50s by the end of the game. we make sure your bundled up. here's a look at the reason for the changes that we're going to see. an area of low pressure bringing in some clouds and it's going to take its time making its way inland today but we will see some onshore winds as that area of low pressure moves in. and also a slight chance of rain mostly for the north bay on saturday and then as we go through the rest of the forecast it will be drying out but also cooler with our rain chances once again, very slight for the weekend. otherwise expect partly to mostly cloudy skies and inland areas go from 80 degrees today to 65 degrees on sunday. that will be the high. and those are the type of conditions we'll see as we head into next week. watching out for rain chances on saturday that will mainly be for the north bay and once again it will be fairly slight. right now you have a traffic alert for the try-valley.
