Street Smart
Street Smart will be visiting your region in the upcoming school holiday break, (we’ll be in Invercargill on Thursday the 29th of April and Cromwell on Sat the 1st of May), and are hoping you’d see fit to share our programme details through your communication channels.
Since launching in 2018, over 1,300 young drivers plus their parent / caregiver have experienced Street Smart, and here’s just a snippet of some of the feedback we’ve received:
“Such a valuable course - we had a fabulous day and learnt so much. Thanks so much I think this practical course is what is missing in the current licencing system. Well done”
“Thank you to everybody involved – you have provided a very valuable and probably injury saving and lifesaving day. It is much appreciated.”
“This course should be compulsory for every learner driver”
“Great day well worth going to. Will be recommending it to everyone I know with teenagers”
“Thanks Street Smart for running this fantastic programme for our young drivers. Every young driver will benefit from learning these hands on skills. What a fabulous day”
“Thoroughly enjoyed the day- totally worth learning the skills in a controlled environment. Thanks very much. Anyone thinking of it should sign up”
“Attended with my son. What a well-run and professionally run course. Recommend it 100% for any young driver”
“Would highly recommend this for your teen driver, a lot of skills learnt for both of us. Thank you”
Please see below information pertaining to the Street Smart programme which we hope is helpful in giving you an insight into what we’re all about, as well as providing content for your channels.
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.
And below is a brief one sentence outline of the Street Smart programme if a quick reference is required for use on the likes of digital / social media channels:
