Question 16152 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Joël Giraud draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the demands of the “Victimes et Avenir” association and the “Justice for Road Victims” Collective, respectively an association for assistance to victims and an association for victims. For several years now the use of the triplicate in police stations and gendarmes has been abandoned with the exception of three departments. In case of accident bodily injury resulting in injury or death, no report is drawn up between the parties, only the accident report is authentic to determine responsibilities vis-à-vis the insurer. In the absence of a report, the fate of families or victims is suspended in an investigation procedure which can sometimes prove to be long, thus pushing back the deadline for payment of provisions from insurance companies, plunging families or victims in dramatic financial situations. Thus, the victims' representatives are calling for the triplicate to be reintroduced as soon as possible throughout France in the event of a traffic accident. This document, which would be given to the families or victims or to a specialized association having received a mandate within 5 days following the accident, should include information on the first findings of the accident, the precise identities of all the people involved in the accident, the validity or not of the driving license of each driver, the results of the toxicological tests of all the protagonists, information on the insurance contracts of the vehicles involved. This measure which seems to concern around 10 families per day in the event of a fatal accident and 76 families per day in case of accident resulting in injuries would allow all these people to assert their rights more quickly with insurance companies. Also, he asks him to kindly have this proposal studied and to let him know his intentions on this subject.
