Westland, Grey and Buller Councils have received approval to use Road Safety funding to sponsor West Coast Teenagers/Students to attend the Street Smart Driver Training Programme provided by the Tony Quinn Foundation.
Who is Street Smart?You may have never heard of Street Smart before so we wanted to take this opportunity to share a little bit about us. Street Smart driven by Tony Quinn Foundation Road Safety is a driver’s education programme designed to give young Kiwis real-world driving experience in a safe, controlled environment. Our aim is to ultimately save lives on our roads. What sets us apart is the practical, hands-on nature of our training days. Young drivers (and their parent / guardian) make their way through potentially life saving activities in their own vehicles, lead by our expert coaches. Our focus is on developing good decision-making strategies for safe driving, including self-assessment and learning, reading the road environment, resisting peer pressure, managing or eliminating distractions, and planning ahead. |
