FOR ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY, CITROËN IS OFFERING THE CHANCE TO LEARN TO DRIVE FROM THE AGE OF 10 WITH ‘YOUNG DRIVER BY CITROËN’!

Learning early means learning better. Drivers who have done some accompanied driving have less accidents than others. Pupils who have taken lessons from the youngest age have on average 60% less accidents when they finally take to the road. With accompanied driving from the age of 15 in France, teenagers can already get started earlier than their elders. Now, the youngest will also be able to learn to drive from the age of 10 with ‘YOUNG DRIVER BY CITROËN’!

This learner driver programme for younger people has already seen great success in the United Kingdom, with 700,000 lessons given. For the first time in France, Young Driver kicks off on 15 June, via an exclusive partnership with Citroën along the same lines:

• At a temporary learning centre, the driving school sets up for the day. Parents and children head there to its festive atmosphere. We never forget our first times: by bike, by car… it’s an important moment!
• At the wheel of a Citroën C3 with dual controls, the 30 or 60-minute lesson begins, accompanied by a certified instructor on a safe and specially equipped circuit, with road signs and traffic lights.
• It’s all about getting the hang of the main operations: adjusting the seat, changing gears, parking… in total freedom, with no fear and while having fun.

Reservations are now open for the first day which is organised for 15 June: www.youngdriver.fr

Other dates will follow in summer in other French cities.
