Insurance company Star Insure partners with Street Smart driver training program
Star Insure Partners with Street Smart to Boost Road Safety
Greg Murphy, motorsport personality and road safety campaigner, is thrilled to welcome Star Insure as the newest member of the Street Smart family. The founder and CEO of Star Insure, John Baker, views this partnership as a deliberate investment towards the safety and well-being of young Kiwi drivers and all road users.
Star Insure's support for the Street Smart programme is part of a mission to create lasting impact and improve the safety of young drivers. The practical course, designed to help young drivers understand vehicle dynamics, manage distractions, and improve decision-making behind the wheel, is held in a closed environment and was revitalised in 2022 with support from the Tony Quinn Foundation.
Subaru of New Zealand joined as the official vehicle sponsor of Street Smart last year, and the programme's focus remains on improving road safety, changing outcomes, and saving lives by equipping drivers with the necessary skills and awareness. Participants in the programme drive their own vehicles for most of the course, ensuring a realistic and relatable learning experience.
The Street Smart programme's history and a test of the programme with a young driver can be read about on a specific webpage. The partnership between Star Insure and Street Smart is seen as an opportunity for Star Insure to give back to New Zealand in a way that creates lasting impact.
John Baker expresses that this partnership aligns perfectly with Star Insure's philosophy of creating tangible pathways to upskill young drivers and nurture responsible road behaviour for future generations. The involvement of Star Insure is intended to enable more young drivers to access vital training and education provided by the Street Smart programme.
Star Insure specializes in tailored insurance solutions for nice motor vehicles, specialist and enthusiast cars, motorbikes, and campers. As they become the official partner of the Street Smart young driver training program, they will be actively involved in supporting the delivery of the programme across the country.
Greg Murphy, as the Street Smart Charitable Trust chair and ambassador, is proud to have Star Insure on board. He expresses that they fully recognize the importance of the mission to improve road safety, change outcomes, and save lives. The partnership between Star Insure and Street Smart is set to make a significant difference in the lives of young drivers and all road users in New Zealand.
