Bikers will not escape sanctions
Between two crescents, the interministerial delegate for road safety Remy Heitz presented this morning a study on bikers. Denouncing speed, he solemnly declares that we will not escape the automated chain of sanctions.
"I say it solemnly: bikers will not escape the automated control-sanction chain or the more pressing policy of the police". The latest study on biker safety, presented this morning by the interministerial delegate for road safety Remy Heitz, the director of ONISR Jean Chapelon and the national "Monsieur Moto" Michel Foret, denounces an excessive average speed and higher than that motorists. However, as Mr. Heitz recalled, relying on yet another raffarinade, "our enemy is speed". "Bikers violate the limits more often and more systematically than motorists. The State cannot accept that a category of users is outside the regulations and to reduce accidents, it is necessary to lower the speed. bikers really need to get the message ", insists Mr. Heitz.
And to convince those who would persist in reasoning a little less Manichean – speed is dangerous only when it is unsuitable -, "our policy will be a policy of firmness". 100 new automatic radars, which will scrupulously photograph the backplates of motorcycles, will therefore be deployed by the end of the year and 1,000 within three years … And unlike England, where most anti-speed cameras are Voluntarily placed in evidence, the French radars will remain slyly camouflaged – preferably at the end of a straight line. Only certain highways could warn that the speed will be controlled N times on a particular section..
The latest sectoral study by the National Interministerial Road Safety Observatory (ONISR) nonetheless highlights another factor of motorcycle mortality: lack of experience … Thus in 2001, among those killed riding a motorcycle slight holders of any driving license, only a small half held a motorcycle license (A or AL). In addition, among those killed with an AL license, 25% had had it for less than 6 months and 50% for less than a year, while among drivers of larger engines, almost a third of those killed (31% ) had had the A license for less than two years. Finally, a projection of the number of fatalities in 2001 by type of cylinder capacity compared to the fleet in circulation and to the estimated annual mileage shows that the most dangerous motorcycles would be the 501-750 cm3 (28.5 killed per 100 million vehicles per kilometer traveled. ), ahead of 251-500 cm3 (25.8), over 750 cm3 (25.4) and under 125 cm3 (14.1).
In addition, alerted to the need to drive a little faster than the traffic to be safe on a motorcycle, Mr. Heitz undertook to accept the invitation of our colleague from Moto Journal offering him to take a ride as a passenger, first while respecting the limitations then "a little above" as is taught in motorcycle schools.
