Gain driving confidence, safely and quickly

Street Smart

A structured, real life focused driving refresher course that is tailored to suit you

nervous behind the wheel?

The first few times are gonna be scary

Whether you have just passed your driving test or have not driven for a long while, it's normal to experience driving anxiety. Cars here are expensive, and you don't want to risk damaging your car, (or others) and incur that additional insurance premium. Much more important than that, why risk the safety of yourself and your family just to save that $200-$300 on a refresher course?

With practice and structured instruction in noto's Street Smart Programme, we promise you'd be up to speed in no time, as long as you practice. Our cars are a symbol of our freedom.

But it is meaningless if we drive around in fear.

Quest

We're about people who enjoy cars and driving, not about brands of cars.

All cars are beautiful, and they express who we are. Whether they're stock, modified, or body kitted. Whether they're daily cars, sports cars, or supercars.

When you change your car, you don't change your place in Cult of Cars.

Leaderboard

No, we're not talking about having Zoom beer sessions.

We're talking about having the opportunity to connect both online, and in the real world.

Not all of us have the luxury of attending every meet up, or go on every drive. Or maybe we don't want to. Or maybe we're not in Singapore.

But, we can almost certainly keep in touch online.

Good company, responsible adults.

The car community sometimes gets a bad reputation. People see us as nuisances who like to make a racket with our engines. Or drive dangerously. Or elitist folks. And some unfortunately do that.

That's not Cult of Cars. We're about being responsible adults, and having a good time together in a considerate manner.

Whether, like us, you want create a community that has the reputation it actually deserves, or you simply want to be in a community believes in being considerate and responsible, we're here and we'd love to get to know you.

No gatekeeping.

We welcome members from all walks of life, at any age, and at any stage of their car journey.

Whether you're not driving yet (but you love cars), or whether you drive simple or the car of many people's dreams, you're welcome.

Because for us, it's not about the car, it's about enjoying it.

By the way, it's free.

The Street Smart programme

This is where Street Smart comes in.

We pair you with our experienced drivers who will use our own cars to share and guide you to feel more confident on Singapore's roads.

real-world-application

Real World Application

We've worked extensively with both new and experienced drivers to structure the topics you'll need to learn to be a safe and confident driver on the road. It includes driving along expressways, parking in actual carparks, and more.

mentoring-guidance

Mentoring Guidance

Our patient and friendly mentors will assist and guide you to learn the fundamentals well so that you can take the wheel confidently in any road situation or traffic condition.

at-your-own-pace

At your own Pace

Everyone learns differently and at their own pace. Each of our Street Smart lessons is different for each individual. You can learn how you want to, at your own pace.

Our programme focuses on real-world, practical, day-to-day applications and not the "show-off" type driving tactics. As a new driver or someone who last drove awhile ago, you need a mentor and a buddy who truly wants you to be great at driving. At noto, we love cars and want everyone to be comfortable, possibly even love, driving them.

Whether it's encountering road hoggers, fierce and unreasonable drivers, we're here to smooth that out. The journey to become an experienced driver need NOT be a long and arduous one.

We're here to make you feel safe, and keep a look out for you.

Driving made easy

Progress at your own pace

We want you to move at the pace that you and focusing on the things that you need help with. As your driving mentor and buddy, it is important that we work with you to achieve what you want.

Structured programme

Street Smart programme covers a wide range of topics that every new or returning driver needs to know.

No registration

No need for registration fees or long waiting times. Just pick a package and get going immediately.

Car included

No need to worry about whose car to use/risk for learning and practice. All our packages includes car rental.

At your convenience

We will pick you up and drop you off for each lesson so you will have no trouble getting to or from every lesson.

By the time you are done, you will be safe, confident, and comfortable driving on your own.

Wait. Why are you doing this?

At noto we love cars and want everyone to be comfortable, and possibly even love, driving them.

A more forgiving, friendly and less stressful roads would be awesome for all drivers and car lovers (like us) alike.

This is why our Street Smart programme exists.

Don't Be a Lost Sheep or a Money Tree

All new drivers face the same challenge. Either you learn to drive on actual roads by yourself - or be at the mercy of a yet another round of expensive classes or instructors who are trying to make a quick buck. It doesn't help that we're incurring 9% GST now.

Self-taught

You're. All. Alone. If there's no one to guide you, you'll have to get your own car and get it figured out on your own. You never know, one wrong move might cause you to get into a car accident (Touchwood. But we say, better be safe than sorry).

Driving School

Probably one of the better ways to get started, but it can be pricey. Usually it requires a $100++ registration fee before you even begin a lesson, not to mention some schools require you to attend at least 5 lessons. Imagine the cost.

Private instructors

Considering that we're almost like private instructors ourselves, we don't really recommend this option. Private instructors will vary wildly in quality and the good ones are usually fully booked by students going for lessons or driving test. On top of that, you'll also have to pay a hefty enrolment fee.
