Question 26799 — road safety

Summary

Mr. François-Michel Lambert questions the Minister of the Interior on the conditions of use of small tourist road trains in closed areas, in particular those relating to the obligation for the driver to hold a category D driving license. The small tourist road train is in fact a road vehicle frequently used in closed areas of tourist or leisure activity open to the public, such as amusement parks, zoos and other cultural places. The relevant regulations require drivers of small tourist road trains to hold a category D driving license known as a passenger transport license, whether the circulation zone of these trains is open or closed. However, driving a small tourist road train, public or private, in a closed zone, is, in the majority of cases, remunerated at SMIC, which does not make it possible to create favorable conditions of attractiveness and therefore to attract drivers holding such a license, who benefit from much better salaries by driving buses or coaches. The risk generated, in the long term, by this regulation, is the lack of drivers holding category D driving licenses favorable to driving a small tourist road train and the obligation to ensure the driving of these trains by drivers who do not hold such a license. He then asks him if he plans to waive, under conditions, the obligation to hold a category D driving license to drive small tourist road trains, particularly when they are traveling in controlled access zones such as parks or on a road not open to automobile traffic or motorized two-wheelers.
