Holden Street Smart - Road Safety Programme

Holden Street Smart is a hands-on driver-skills programme that equips young Kiwis with the tools needed to safely drive our roads, well prepared and confident. Offering a practical hands-on learning experience, Holden Street Smart is a programme that aims to add to, and compliment, the great work already undertaken by NZTA, NZ Police and others in the area of road safety and driving training.

This is a one-day event providing young drivers and their parents/caregivers the opportunity to undertake supervised driving practice. The Programme takes place in safe, controlled, off-the-road environments, under the watchful eye of qualified coaches plus the parent/caregiver. 

Holden Street Smart will be delivering it’s programme in the Manawatu on Thursday 18 April or Friday 12 July at Manfeild Park in Feilding. Visit the Holden Street Smart website to register www.holdenstreetsmart.co.nz
