The Ministry of the Interior is said to have launched a call for tenders from manufacturers of radars in order to equip unmarked vehicles with speed control devices small and efficient enough to be used. stashed embarked both on a car, but also on a motorcycle.

This project, already tested by the Belgian police on Honda Pan Europeans for a few years, should enter the test phase this summer for "a period of six months and may be extended by three months", confirmed the Interministerial Delegate for Road Safety.

"Globally, it will be radars as we see them on the roadsides but which circulate," she said. The function and the interest of this new repressive tool would be to be able to measure in real time the speed of a followed vehicle, unlike the current on-board devices which are used when stationary (opposite).

It is about developing "radar devices or photo, video, laser, or other devices, which, from a vehicle that is in traffic, can measure and sanction overflows and overtaking", detailed Michele Merli.

This experiment was already carried out in the 90s with unmarked cars, before being abandoned for reasons of logistics and costs. Unfortunately, the technological progress made on new generation radar meters would, it seems, make it possible to bring this brilliant idea back up to date….
