Question 14972 — road safety

Summary

Ms. Laurence Heydel Grillere questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty on the insurance and registration of corso floats. Coming from a long historical and cultural tradition, the corso is a parade of floats through the streets on the occasion of local traditional festivals. The corso floats are made each year on chassis, car carcasses or agricultural trailers which are covered with plastic structures. wood or metal and which are decorated with flowers as decoration. Currently, corso tanks are subject to agricultural trailer legislation under article R. 311-1 of the highway code. However, in practice, their purpose and use are very different from those of agricultural trailers. The corso floats travel at a parade speed of 1.5 km/h and a speed of 10 to 15 km/h on the approach course. compared to 40 km/h on average for agricultural trailers pulled by a tractor. With these regulations, corso tanks are required to take out insurance for the transport of people and the storage of their equipment. However, due to their age and obsolescence, many corso tanks are no longer able to present a tracking number, necessary for the validation of the insurance contract, as provided for in articles L.211-1 and R.211-15 of the insurance code. In addition, corso floats whose total authorized weight is greater than 1.5 tonnes and whose vehicle is not attached to an agricultural operation are required to register under article L.322-1 of the highway code, which generates additional costs and procedures for volunteers. Consequently, it asks whether treatment differentiated from that of trailers agricultural systems for insurance and registration of corso tanks could be put in place.
