They are called “without p”, for “without a license”. In town, these carts which are now sold for half to minors, transform the parking lots of the most upscale high schools into a dealer showroom. In the imagination of the car without a license, the papy with a rolling window open window was replaced by a young person in Canada Goose who flirts with his “without p”.
The star of them is the Citroën Friend, whose line is halfway between the aperiticube and these dogs whose front of the rear is unable to distinguish, and that its young owners like to customize like an iPhone shell. According to the automaker, in 85 % of orders, it is a complementary vehicle that replaces a two-wheeler and 70 % of its users live in small cities or in rural areas.
In the countryside, the “without P” have become the means of travel of learning students. Accessible from 14 years since 2018, they only ask the youngest than the AM license and to convince their parents – which can sometimes claim much more time than the eight hours of compulsory training for obtaining this road safety certificate.
What we recognize them
Unlike manufacturers, young drivers of “without P” never use the word “quadricycle”. They managed to make their parents believe that it would be less dangerous than two-wheelers, that, if their neighborhood or their village was better served, they would not have needed it and that at least they would be ‘shelter and warm. They promised that they would not put a boyfriend in the trunk, but have already tried to count how many people and guitars we could hold.
In town, their neighbors hide when they see them arriving. In the countryside, their teachers flourish when, on the road, they meet behind their pupil at 40 kilometers-hour on a 3-kilometer straight line. They can explain that in rental, disregard made from the first rent, compared to a phone package, it is not much more expensive. They had already used the argument “all my friends have it” to have a smartphone, five years earlier.
They always know the price of the most upscale the market to give the impression that theirs was a matter. They don’t like being said that it is for the rich kids. They are convinced that there was no other solution. They have the feeling of having joined the world of adults since they can complain about not finding a parking space or pedestrians that cross anywhere. Their parents believed that “without P” meant “Sanpellegrino”.
