Radars - IRB: Manuel Valls announces 22 new measures to put the French to sleep -

The Interministerial Road Safety Committee (IRB) organized this morning in Matignon by Manuel Valls, for the first time since that of François Fillon in May 2011, made public a new set of 22 measures with 33 additional measures (in addition to the 26 announced in January!) intended for

The Interministerial Road Safety Committee (IRB) organized this morning in Matignon by Manuel Valls, for the first time since that of, has made public a new set of endowed with 33 additional measures (in addition to!) Intended to make the French believe that the main issue of the 21st century is their safety on the road…

It does not matter that the number of deaths has fallen by more than 80% in 40 years, despite a considerable increase in the vehicle fleet and the number of kilometers traveled (around 18,000 deaths per year in the 1970s against 3,000 today).

Because with this clever (really?) Subterfuge wisely relayed by all the media (for what purpose?), The government has been giving itself for decades the impression of actively working to improve living conditions, everything by carefully avoiding addressing the real issues on which his proven powerlessness would work…

Between the now traditional multiplication of radars (but, the icing on the cake for a government of left, the deployment of radars on board unmarked vehicles is now entrusted … to private companies!), The appearance of fake radars to deceive drivers (hehe, not bad that one), the use of drones to identify dangerous behavior (excellent), the wearing of a bicycle helmet compulsory for children under 12 (beware, drones fall on the child’s head) last?), the development of breathalyzers at start-up (here go Raymonde, breathe in my place), the introduction of a virtual driving license for foreign drivers, etc., everyone can choose the measure that they deem the most appropriate. more conducive to bistro discussions tonight as an aperitif.

Video over marking, drones, private radars, fake radars, multifunction radars, mandatory gloves, motorcycle technical control, immobilizer breathalyzer … !

IRB of October 2, 2015: selected pieces

Measure 6 : "extend the number of offenses that can be observed without interception on the side of the road (videotape or automated radar with sending of a ticket), starting with the non-wearing of a helmet"

Measure 13 : "in order to secure the used fleet and protect the buyer, introduce a technical control for the sale of second-hand motorized two-wheelers within two years"

Measure 14 : "condition the possibility of driving a high-power motorcycle (greater than 35 kW or 56 hp) on training which can only be carried out after two years of holding a motorcycle license" (Editor’s note: a power of 35 kW corresponds in reality at 47.6 hp, not 56, dear ministers!)

Measure 15 : "in order to limit serious injuries, make it compulsory to wear approved gloves for users of motorized two-wheelers"

Complementary measure A3 : "assess the implementation of the obligation to install non-disengageable speed limiters, under the penalties"

Complementary measure B9 : "generalize, without prejudice to European Union law, the requirements of the decree relating to license plates to the entire fleet for implementation on 1 January 2017"

Complementary measure B10 : "encourage the world of motorized two-wheelers to acquire a label such as" EuroNCAP ", possibly extended to equipment"

  • The (and their 33 additional measures)
  • January 2015

Finally, note that for bikers, the government confirms and the establishment within two years of a when reselling a two-wheeler, while the (motorcycles of less than 35 kW) will now extend to all new bikers for two years regardless of their age, due to the "end of the 100 hp limitation on motorcycle power" in the .

The media circus will therefore be able to continue to be in full swing, between the whining of associations of victims who demand – and obtain – ever more repression and the demands of users (motorists and bikers) who claim – without much success – real measures of training, which will "forget" the real problems until the next elections election promise campaigns. Convenient, no ?
