The report of the prefect Regis Guyot on the circulation of motorcycles and scooters between the lines in traffic jams is presented today to Manuel Valls, Minister of the Interior. Awaited for years by bikers, this report should – finally … – frame this practice inherent in driving a motorized two-wheeler in town (read in particular MNC of November 14, 2011:, MNC of June 8, 2012:, MNC of September 21, 2012: and our).

"This efficient and proportionally low accident-causing practice is already officially recognized by our Belgian, Dutch and Austrian neighbors," recalls the FFMC, stressing that "the" back up of files "can no longer be a mere tolerance in our cities where the park two-wheeler continues to grow: it is time to teach it to all road users so that it is practiced in a reasoned and reasonable manner, not just anywhere, not anytime and not no matter how ".

The movement of motorcycles between the lines in the event of traffic jams could thus be taught from the license, as requested by the French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC) for 15 years..

Only between the leftmost queues

Since the start of the year, Prefect Regis Guyot has worked with user associations, representatives of motorcycle taxis, insurers, IFSTTAR researchers, trainers, law enforcement and civil servants. ministerial to reach a consensus.

But who says consensus necessarily means concession … Climbing up the queues would therefore only be expressly authorized on express one-way expressways and only between the most left-hand queues. In short: OK on the ring road, but not on the Marshals !

The maximum speed of the motorized two-wheeler traveling in inter-mesh would be 50 km / h in the event of strongly slowed traffic. Beyond that, its speed differential with cars should not exceed 20 km / h. The National Road Safety Council (read) will have to vote on this report at its next session in February.
