Question 14228 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Hervé Saulignac draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the relaxation of the scale of fines for speeding. With the lowering of the speed to 80 km/h on most national and departmental roads which, in Ardèche, represent practically the entire road network, a driver who is "flashed" at 101 km/h can incur up to 135 euros fine and a withdrawal of 2 points from the driving license. It will only be after three full years without offenses that they will be able to recover these points. While the car is essential in Ardèche, the only department in France that does not even have a train station, the risk of losing a driving license would have disastrous consequences for the people of Ardèche and could push them to take the reckless risk of driving without a license and, therefore, therefore, without insurance. It therefore seems necessary to adopt a relaxation of the scale of fines for speeding, as has been done in the past to deal with this problem. He therefore asks to what extent the Government intends to respond to the fears of rural citizens and whether it plans to relax the scale of penalties provided for by the highway code for speeding.
