Road mortality has increased sharply in July in our country. To reverse this trend, the government plans to impose a particular technical control for two-wheelers.
In July, the number of deaths on French roads surged 19.2%. The first half of the year, 1558 people are killed it. Manuel Val’s hoped that a road safety Interministerial Committee meets in coming weeks to propose solutions like wearing a safety vest or adding reflective tape on clothing. The government is working on several tracks, not all popular.
At the Ministry of Interior, the bikers are the top priority. These are also the two wheels which are swelling the number of major road accident victims. There are insurers who are pressuring you to limit the risks, because it costs them dearly.
Technical control envisaged for two-wheelers.
RTL has revealed to you this Wednesday, August 26; the government is considering imposing serious biker’s technical control. It would take place only upon the sale of its two wheels for now. These screaming representatives of bikers, who say their members, pamper their motorcycles. This is true for tens of thousands of real “bikers”. But today, the bulk of the troops, they are scooter users who do not have a motorcycle license, which may not maintain their vehicles and end up selling it online.
Technical inspection would also identify scooters which was derided the engine to prevent teens kill themselves on rolling bombs.
Another measure should come: the requirement to have real protective reflective clothing or reflective vest for motorcyclists. There are still too many two wheels that roll T-shirt and shorts summer. In addition to the helmet, it could soon impose jacket with reflective stripes, back protector and reinforced gloves.
On 1 September, the generalization of alcolocks takes effect in coaches. The announcement of the extension of this system could be announced in the next few months. The idea, therefore, is to blow into a device that prevents the engine from starting if you have been drinking. 2 Lapps law already allows a judge to impose this system if you are controlled at the wheel while intoxicated. It was also found that when the penalty was imposed, there was a fall of half of recidivism.
Nevertheless, these devices are very expensive: around 1,250 Euros on average. This could replace the fine for driving while intoxicated, all accompanied by medical supervision. The problem is that today throughout France you have only around thirty approved centers to ask these devices on cars. The government should increase the number of accredited centers.
It already has a strange name in cartons of Government: Recur for educational Continuum citizen road users and reflective tape. You pass your permit (code of conduct) and you get it. You return mini-internship hours in your driving school in the year after obtaining a license, to correct bad habits.
The government would even these small booster shots then take place every ten years, for example, to avoid having older drivers who are no longer able to drive safely.
