Street Smart - Driver Training

Street Smart is a world-class, cognitive based driver programme that aims to positively influence the lives of young kiwis across the country, and help them to become a safer and more aware driver on our roads.

Offering a practical hands-on learning experience, Street Smart is a one-day event providing young drivers and their parents/caregivers the opportunity to undertake supervised driving practice. There is a focus on developing good decision-making strategies for safe driving, including assessing themselves, reading the road environment, resisting peer pressure, managing or eliminating distractions and planning ahead.

Street Smart takes place in safe, controlled, off-the-road environments, under the watchful eye of qualified coaches plus the parent/caregiver. This provides the parent the opportunity to also assess themselves, in order to be a better coach and mentor to their teen.

Street Smart will be at Manfield in Feilding on Wednesday 8 December 2021.

Registrations can be completed via the easy to use pages on the Street Smart website - www.streetsmart.nz

Since launching in 2018, over 1,300 young drivers plus their parents/ caregivers have experienced Street Smart, and here’s just a snippet of some of the feedback received:
