We have found that over the years of delivering this diversion program, students gain a concentrated knowledge base about “cause and effects” related to their driving behaviours. The program offers to re-visit the fundamental skills and ethics of driving a vehicle and road etiquette. We offer solutions to self-regulate your driving behaviours to ensure you don’t re-offend. Our training will ensure that you receive the most thorough information and international best practices training relating to road safety, road rules and driving etiquette. Many drivers become complacent after years of driving; it is our commitment to you to re-educate and restore your values in safe road and driving behaviours, which you can then demonstrate not only throughout the course, but also to your Solicitor, the Magistrate in Court, your family and other road users in the future.

There are no guarantees with regards to Magistrate sentencing, each case is considered by the Magistrate taking into account the individual’s history, circumstances and prior offences along with any proactive programs attended. As this course is highly recognised within the Magistrates, Lawyers and Prosecution it is possible that a lighter sentence and fine may be received. Typically the cost of any diversion programs is factored into the fine attributed to your sentence.

The Streetwise Traffic Offender Intervention Program promotes safe driving behaviours and supports the community by delivering these core messages:

• Defining and applying safe car / driving behaviours
• Interpretation and application of low-risk driving strategies
• Interpretation and application of road rules relating to safe driving
• Managing collisions when driving a car
• Demonstrating and maintaining a high level of competence in car control
