  • No — Street Smart does not provide 6 months off your licence.

    However, unlike the programmes that do (which are predominantly theory-based), Street Smart is the only programme in New Zealand that delivers a recognised world-best-practice, hands-on, practical “learn by doing” approach.

  • Yes, you can attend for two young drivers as the drivers take turns doing the activities with the coach in the front and parent/guardian in the back seat.

    It is important you email us on info@streetsmart.org.nz and let us know to ensure that the young drivers are placed in the same group.

  • We currently run our training days at six different locations around NZ. We do add new locations from time to time - the best way to stay up to date with new locations is by signing up to receive our email updates.

  • You’ll move through seven activities, with each using hands-on techniques to fine-tune your knowledge. Learn more about the day and check out a few of the activities HERE.

  • We ask that young drivers use the vehicle they usually drive.

    It’s important that you understand the capability of your own car, and how it responds in different situations. That’s why many of the activities on the day are conducted in the car you’re learning to drive in.
