Holden Street Smart is all about getting young drivers ready for life on Kiwi roads.
TBHS - September 18, 2019
Holden Street Smart is like no other driving course in New Zealand. You’ll be behind the wheel right from the start and will learn in a hands-on environment. You can be on your Learners, Restricted or Full License to attend the course. Ten different stations will put you through your pace.
For registration and more information on the programme, head to https://www.holdenstreetsmart.co.nz/
When: Tuesday 8 October
Where: Levels Raceway, Timaru
Cost: $79 per person
What you Need: You need to have a driver's licence. A restricted licence is preferred over a learner's licence as you will have had sufficient time behind the wheel. This is also the highest risk period of your licence journey, with restricted drivers being 4x more likely to be involved in an accident.
You will also need a vehicle to bring on the day.
A parent/guardian is required to attend with you as well.
Why is this important to you and your teens?
- South Canterbury has one of the highest road fatality and serious injuiries cras rates inthe country
- In 2017, the road deat rate was 3x that of the national average, and the seirous injury rate was 1.5x the national average
- We want to make a positive impact on our local young drivers by facilitating the programme locally to help them learn the vital skills to navigate our roads and not become another statistic
