Question 18957 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Saïd Ahamada questions the Minister of the Interior on the application of the law of August 3, 2018 strengthening the fight against motorized rodeos. Prepared in close collaboration with the services of the Ministries of the Interior and Justice, as well as with parliamentarians, this law is a strong act taken by the Government. It provides a legal framework adapted to prevent and sanction these dangerous actions, sources of exasperation for the population. Thus, sentences of up to five years' imprisonment can now be imposed if the offense is committed by a driver under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, or if he does not hold a driving license. In addition, the police and gendarmes can immediately decide on the administrative immobilization of the vehicle used to commit the offense as well as its confiscation. This law is part of the daily security police (PSQ), deployed in particular in Marseille since February 2018. In order to fully apply the law of August 3, 2018, upon its promulgation, the Government undertook to send precise directives to the department prefects. They then had to define, in conjunction with the public prosecutors, an action strategy, involving in particular the police and the gendarmerie. national as well as municipal police forces, such as to allow appropriate consideration of these behaviors. Also, the MP would like the Minister of the Interior to be able to take stock of the application of the law on the ground, by presenting the nature of the directives given by the Government to the prefects following its promulgation, as well as by drawing up an initial quantitative assessment concerning the repression of offenses observed. More particularly, he asks him to please take stock of the implementation of the law in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, and in particular in Marseille. Finally, more generally, he reminds him of the importance of enforcing this law throughout the national territory, and in particular in urban neighborhoods where these motorized rodeos have multiplied for too many years, disturbing the public safety and the tranquility of residents.
