The Association Prévention Routière is a non-governmental, non-profit making, french organisation created in 1949 by insurance companies, and is now supported by 130 000 members and donors.
The Association Prévention Routière studies and promotes effective initiatives to improve road safety by all suitable means.
For example, 1 350 000 children and teenagers receive a road safety education each year and 18 000 drivers take part in the rehabilitation programmes organised by the association for traffic offenders, that serve as an alternative to prosecution.
The Association Prévention Routière has also set up a special training programme for senior drivers on a volontary basis, and offers its expertise to private companies to help them to reduce their occupational road risk.
Finally, millions of French people are reached by the road safety campains, the information brochures and the leaflets of the Association Prévention Routière.
