Dialogue of the deaf Place Beauvau

The meeting between the FFMC and Nicolas Sarkozy, obtained after a scathing exchange of press releases (read), should as expected give birth to a mouse…

The Minister of the Interior has indeed indicated to the five members of the FFMC received this morning for 45 minutes Place Beauvau that he would not "go back" on the automatic sanction control and that he "would continue the installation of the 1000 automatic radars "planned by 2005 (read our).

Assuring that he was "very attached to the specifics of motorcycles because I myself ride a bicycle" (sic!), Nicolas Sarkozy then affirmed that "riding a motorcycle is a form of freedom to be protected", before proposing the creation of a "working group" by June.

The FFMC, which told the minister "its disagreement with this system of surveillance which is a serious blow to the presumption of innocence, the right to defense and respect for private life", developed its proposals for " establishment of a true educational continuum from an early age and throughout the life of drivers as well as the necessary improvement of road networks and infrastructure ".

For Nadia Levêque and Ferederic Brozdziack, the two members of the National Bureau received this morning with the three lawyers of the FFMC’s Rights and Freedoms Defense Committee, "it is impossible for the FFMC to participate in the working group proposed by the Minister if he should only serve to help the interior ministry to improve the automatic sanction control system ". The FFMC requests that this working group be specially dedicated to motorized two-wheelers and that it involve the various ministries concerned (equipment, national education, research, youth and sports).

Finally, it calls on "bikers, and beyond all road users and road safety actors, to step up the mobilization to demand the development of road safety education and driver training and the elimination of automatic sanction control ". Certainly … But while rallying motorcyclists around common demands is a task that is already sufficiently complex, is it really the role of the FFMC to want in addition to defend motorists, who in their majority say they are in favor of automatic sanction control? ?
