Street Smart

Hayden Dickason —

Street Smart will be visiting Canterbury in the upcoming school holidays, we’ll be in Christchurch on Tuesday the 27th of April.

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 with 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:
