THE BELANGER FORD LINCOLN CENTRE’S YOUNG DRIVERS of CANADA FRANCHISE RECEIVES TOP HONOURS.

Chelmsford – The Young Drivers of Canada organization recently recognized top performing centres in the country. The 2002 award for Canada’s "Best New Centre" was presented to The Belanger Ford Lincoln Centre, in Chelmsford, Ontario. The Belanger franchise also received a "Growth" award for its increase in participants and sales.

Young Drivers of Canada is the largest and most respected driver training organization in Canada with over 165 driving schools in Canada. The schools have been providing driver training since 1970 and in the process have graduated over 750,000 students.

"We are honoured to receive this award", stated France Belanger-Houle, general manager of The Belanger Ford Lincoln Centre. "We have worked hard at establishing the Young Drivers’ franchise in our market and letting the community know that driver training is an additional service that is offered at our dealership. We were fortunate to recruit Mrs. Erdine Lapointe, an excellent instructor with numerous years of experience with the Young Drivers’ collision-free program and she has played a key role in our success."

Graduates of the Young Drivers’ novice program are eligible for a Ford rebate ranging between $500 to $1000 when they purchase or lease a new Ford vehicle.

"Since traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young Canadians, driving is one of the most important skills used on a daily basis," indicates Belanger-Houle. "My two children were enrolled in this program and I feel confident that they have the driving skills required to stay alive behind the wheel."

1. Because parents know collisions are the number one cause of death among young adults 16-24 in Canada. And that YOUNG DRIVERS makes collision avoidance training their number one priority.

2. Because parents talk to other parents, and learn YOUNG DRIVERS doesn't just say they provide a minimum of 25 hours of classroom training and 10 hours behind-the-wheel training, they actually do it, every time.

3. Because parents know you can't teach risk perception, emergency braking, collision avoidance, defensive driving, escape route strategies and everything else we teach effectively for less money. Nobody can.

4. Because parents feel better paying a little more for YOUNG DRIVERS because they know truly effective instruction takes more research, more experience, and more highly trained instructors to get the training across.

5. Because YOUNG DRIVERS offers a free co-driver session for parents to learn how to practice YD techniques with their teens, effectively and safely.

6. Because parents know YOUNG DRIVERS grads get reduced insurance rates. And because YD grads have a better chance of maintaining a clean driving record, you can save a fortune in insurance premiums over the years.

7. Because kids rate YOUNG DRIVERS training tops. So a choice of YOUNG DRIVERS is something parents and teens agree upon! (Gift certificates are available!)

8. Because parents know our reputation was earned over 30 years, and they've rated us an amazingly high 9 out of 10 for customer satisfaction in independent research.

9. Because parents lie awake at night and listen for their teens to arrive home safely. At moments like this, they've been known to say They're past curfew but thank goodness they got their driver training at YOUNG DRIVERS!

10. Because a lifetime of Collisionfree! driving is one of the most valuable and least expensive legacies a parent can bestow on a child!
