The French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC) and the National Council of Automobile Professions (CNPA) have joined forces to inform and advise bikers and motorists on inter-traffic traffic, authorized since February 1, 2016 on major dl axes ‘Île-de-France, Rhône, Bouches-du-Rhône and Gironde (read MNC for).

A plate so as not to be beside the plate

This awareness campaign takes the form of an informative brochure, distributed to motorcyclists and scooter riders via the network of CNPA members. Several "hundreds of thousands" of brochures will be distributed through "a thousand points of sale" located in the departments concerned by the experimentation of back-up queues..

"Insurers, driving schools, media and road users of the FFMC network will also make their contribution by distributing this brochure throughout the territory", assure the two associations.

Also available at, this brochure contains explanations of the legislation and the routes concerned by the experiment, as well as practical tips. On its sound, the FFMC develops its advice at greater length, in a specific file intended for motorcyclists as well as motorists.

Most are just common sense: do not overtake another two-wheeler in the interface (a flagrant imbecility yet already suffered by MNC!), Adapt your speed to traffic, use turn signals and mirrors, do not throw cigarette butts (or other waste) out the window, as this may embarrass or injure a two-wheeler user, etc. So many good habits acquired since bikers began to climb back up lines, i.e. since the appearance of the first traffic jams in town !

Others are more relevant, such as anticipating the reactions of motorists by monitoring their mirrors and the "position of the drivers’ heads", limiting the use of the horn to "really dangerous" situations and being wary of unwanted changes when approaching large intersections and / or important exits. 

Monitoring the front wheels of cars can also give good information about a possible impending lane change.. 

"The campaign also aims to make the legal framework of inter-line traffic known to drivers and, thus, to avoid any disappointment with the police who had been so quick to observe this practice closely", conclude with a note of humor – creaking – the FFMC and the CNPA.
