Clean Driving

A new way of driving

-More economical -Safer -More serence -More ecological -Faster

Prerequisites

-Optimize your car Use ecological tires Inflate your tires well Don’t store useless objects Don’t install roof racks Drive with the windows shut Keep air-con use to a minimum

-Your car will be lighter and more optimized, and therefore consume less fuel.

Prerequisites

Drive serenely by: Making some time allowance on each trip So that you can drive more smoothly… And save 20% on fuel… Save money While being less stressed

Clean Driving

To adopt the Zen attitude and be in harmony with oneself and nature.

Drive serenely

Don’t tailgate Anticipate the driving behavior of

others, such as trucks, so as to… Limit the stress associated with speed

variations (braking, etc.) Limit the necessity for reacceleration,

which emits a lot of Co2

Drive serenely

Anticipate red lights Put your car into neutral once you see a

red light 100 or 200 meters ahead. You will pollute less And there will be less wear on your brake

pads When the light turns green, you will still

have maintained some speed And this will save you time!

Optimize your driving

Anticipate descents by refraining from accelerating just before these

Gather speed in descents to consume less when you go back up again, while going faster still.

Shift into higher gears as soon as possible and never over-rev.

Drive respectfully

Courtesy Give way to pedestrians Be nice with other drivers, especially

when you have nothing to lose Give way to drivers coming out of car parks

or parking lots Go easy on learner drivers

Serene driving

Respect others: use turn signals, obey the rules of the road, etc.

Be open to others Car pooling, for instance, is convivial and

a lot less expensive!!! And be Zen!!!

And why not…

Carpool It’s convivial Less boring for the driver Less expensive Less polluting And of course, the driver pays more

attention to his/her driving since he/she is reponsible for the lives of passengers.

And why not…

Drive on vegetable oil? You can do this with diesel engines, up to a

maximum of 30%. It’s less expensive Smells good Supports small local farmers. Pollutes less, since the co2 emitted was

abosrbed by the plant during its growth. N.B: It is authorized by the EU, and hence in

France, but banned by the French state…

Conclusion

Clean Driving is a new way of driving Ecological Economical: potentially up to 30% of

savings on fuel, that is… 364 liters saved per car and per year

on average (i.e. about $750)

Conclusion

If everyone in France were to adopt the Clean Driving method, this would mean: 23 million tonnes less of co2 Enough savings per car for a trip to

Morocco…
