Educational Material for High School Students
The SAAQ offers teaching tools to high school teachers, police officers and other stakeholders in order to raise awareness among high school students about safe behaviour on the road.
Plusieurs jeunes s’initient à la conduite en devenant cyclomotoristes. Leur manque d’expérience peut augmenter le risque qu’ils soient impliqués dans un accident de la route.
C’est de cette constatation qu’est née l’idée d’une trousse de sensibilisation : LE BONHEUR EN SCOOTER. Cette trousse s’adresse aux services de police qui désirent proposer une activité de perfectionnement aux jeunes cyclomotoristes de leur région. Elle a été élaborée en collaboration avec le Service de police de Sherbrooke.
Objectif de la trousse :
- Permettre aux cyclomotoristes de perfectionner leurs connaissances théoriques et pratiques en matière de conduite.
- Permettre aux jeunes de poser des questions relatives à la sécurité routière à un membre du corps policier et de discuter de prévention avec celui-ci.
Because a traffic accident can change a life forever, we redouble our efforts when it comes to raising awareness among 16- and 17-year-olds about the dangers of the road.
Designed for Secondary 5 students and professionals who work with youth, the Le pouvoir de tout changer ("The Power to Change Everything," available in French only) kit informs young people about the dangers of impaired driving.
Video clip
This 18-minute docufiction depicts 16- and 17-year-olds in situations where they are:
- drivers who have been drinking or using drugs
- passengers debating whether to get into a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking or using drugs
- friends preventing someone who has been drinking or using drugs from getting behind the wheel
The video serves to spark group discussion and provides youth workers and other professionals with a tool that can be used as part of their awareness-raising efforts.

We created this document to motivate students to adopt responsible behaviours on the road.
By signing it, they make a commitment never to drive while impaired by alcohol, drugs or fatigue and never to get into a car with a driver who is or may be impaired.
The Pacte pour la vie (PDF, 356.9 KB) document can be downloaded and a copy can be printed and distributed to each student.
