A new sticker to improve the condition of the roads ?

A committee of experts commissioned by the Minister of Transport Elisabeth Borne recommends several solutions to finance the maintenance of the road network, which has deteriorated visibly for ten years..

Among these tracks which should be made public in January 2018 is based on the creation of a new sticker applicable to all vehicles circulating on the national, departmental and municipal network … Remember that since 2007, the maintenance of the national network has not been is no longer provided by the State but by the Interdepartmental Roads Directorates (DIR), which replace the Departmental Equipment Directorates (DDE).

However the senator (UC) of Eure Herve Maurey, president of the Commission of the regional planning and the sustainable development, regrets in particular that "the light vehicles pass and repass on the roads without paying anything" (sic!) Then that "the trains pay a fee to SNCF Reseau for the wear and tear of the rails"…

"Without paying anything", really? Would this dear centrist senator have forgotten that on a full tank of gasoline, motorists and motorcyclists happily pay 70% of taxes, not to mention in the form of fines for speeding – which rarely concern excessive speeds – or motor vehicle inspection? ?
