Smith System EMEA History

In 1952, Harold Smith established the Smith System Driver Improvement Institute, the world’s first professional driver training company. He understood that most collisions are preventable if the right driving habits are learned, practiced and applied consistently. Since then, millions of drivers throughout the world have benefited from the program he developed.

Today Smith System® is the leading provider of collision avoidance driver training. Our instructors continue to study and master techniques that are essential to understanding driver behavior. With a focus on collision prevention through hands-on training, the proven Smith System concepts help fleet drivers to See, Think and React to driving challenges — no matter where they drive or what type of vehicle they operate.

Smith System delivers behind the wheel instruction to tens of thousands of fleet drivers each year. We have presented our programs in 98 countries and in 17 languages around the world. In the past decade, we have provided services to more than half of the current Fortune 500® fleets.
