Question 1423 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Jean-Louis Masson draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the dangers represented by wild rodeos organized on public roads and the inadequacy of current regulations to deal with this phenomenon. Indeed, generally speaking, any risky driving is completely prohibited on public roads, whether the driver is on a moped, scooter, motorcycle or any other motorized vehicle. The highway code requires caution and safety in all circumstances. Violating these principles means endangering one's own life and the lives of others. Confiscation, immobilization and impoundment can be applied as well as fines provided for other offenses, such as speeding, or even simple noise pollution. However, these devices are not dissuasive enough and do not sufficiently respond to urban rodeos which are gaining momentum in the streets of our cities. Mayors, municipal and national police, and exasperated residents are demanding more appropriate legislation to respond more effectively to drivers who, faced with sanctions that are poorly applied and poorly adapted to the situation, are increasing the number of provocative gestures and have a heightened sense of impunity. This is why he asks her to kindly give him a quick update on the situation and to indicate the adaptation measures likely to be taken at the legislative level so that these urban rodeos are now a crime and no longer a simple offense.
