The article deals with the project Close-to. This project is funded by the E.U. and its goal is to influence the group of young drivers (increase of traffic safety). Young drivers at driving schools or secondary schools listen to a story of an accident from someone (= peer mentor) who had experienced an accident (offender, victim etc.). These meetings should lead young drivers to more responsible driving. The effect of this method is measured by a questionnaire survey.

Keywords: Group of young drivers, attitude, peer-mentor, peer-method
