He will not be at the bedside of a teenager as a “big brother” in the famous show ” SOS: My family needs help ” But Pascal Soetens, says ” Pascal the big brother », will be passing through Vire Normandie on Friday September 20, 2024.

The reason: the former presenter has been working for several years now Tour de France in order to to raise awareness about the road safety and some risks related to alcohol and drugs.

A journey which is therefore preparing to take him to the south of Calvados.

The basic idea was to help young people get a good start in life. During Covid, we were looking for something around that. And finally, the idea of ​​offering driving license training, something expensive and one of the most important keys to finding work afterwards, came up all of a sudden. And it was an immediate hit.

Road safety workshops open to all

Thus, Pascal Soetens, accompanied on occasion by Prevention and Road Safety, the Prefecture or the police, to add to the prevention and advice component, travels to driving schools for some workshops open to all. In this case, in Vire, it will be a question of VikingGranville Street.

I’ll be there around 3:00-3:30pm. There, those who wish can try to complete a course wearing glasses that simulate the conditions of alcohol or drug consumption. It’s quite disturbing, and if it can mark them, all the better.

The next meeting will take place at night, around 1 a.m., at the discotheque. Le Tiffany. This is where, after a moment of meetings and dedications, Pascal Soetens will perform at 3 a.m. draw among those who slipped their name to determine the winner of the driving license.

But be careful, you must meet a very specific criterion to win.

Our slogan is ‘if you’ve drunk, you’ve lost’! In short, if the person we drew has consumed alcohol or drugs during the evening, we draw again until we find someone sober.

Soon for heavy goods vehicles and boats?

And the one who now holds a YouTube channel successful (“Pascal and JM”), with more than 700,000 subscribersdoes not intend to stop there in terms of prevention and support.

It is still in the planning stages, but the next step would be to do it also for heavy goods vehicle licenses, and even boat licenses. The principle would be the same, except that for boats, it would be exclusively in the summer.
