Road safety - Gayssot officially installs the National Road Safety Council -

The National Road Safety Council was created this morning at the Ministry of Transport. First resolution announced by Jean-Claude Gayssot, the undisputed star of the press point: request the outright abolition of the presidential amnesty.

French Transport Minister Jean-Claude Gayssot has "officially installed"the National Road Safety Council (CNSR) this morning behind closed doors, under the chandeliers of 246 boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris.

The first CNSR resolution has the merit of being clear: "The CNSR speaks out against any amnesty for traffic violations in favor of the 2002 presidential elections, in order to stop the slackening of motorists as this deadline approaches"…

This first meeting of the CNSR was clearly focused on repression, in particular with regard to the bill to be presented to the Assembly on October 31 and which provides for the automatic retention of the license in the event of speeding exceeding 40 km / h without intervention of the prefect…

The CNSR is chaired by Rene Dosière (photo), 60, PS deputy from Aisne (02) and professor of local finance at the University of Reims ().

Member of the Law Commission, he was notably the rapporteur of the law of June 1999 on the crime of high speed…
