Question 2924 — road safety

Summary

Mrs. Geneviève Levy draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to article L. 121-6 of the Highway Code. The latter provides that "when an offense recorded in accordance with the terms provided for in Article L. 130-9 has been committed with a vehicle whose registration certificate holder is a legal entity or which is owned by a legal entity, the legal representative of this legal entity must indicate, by letter registered with request for acknowledgment of receipt or in a dematerialized manner, according to the terms specified by order, within forty-five days from the sending or delivery of the notice of contravention, to the authority mentioned in this notice, the identity and address of the natural person who was driving this vehicle, unless it establishes the existence of theft, theft of a registration plate or any other force majeure event”. However, it appears that since the implementation of this provision on January 1, 2017, heads of small businesses, managers of EURL or EARL have received, after paying their fine, a fine of 450 euros for non-reporting. They should in fact have indicated their identity to denounce themselves, which is not obvious when you are an individual and therefore the one and only person who can be involved in the traffic offense. Exemption requests, well justified, are clogging up not only the Rennes payment center but now the police courts. Furthermore, this provision would also affect individuals who have chosen to take a vehicle under LOA or LDD. She therefore asks him what the Government intends to do to remedy this lack of accessibility and intelligibility of Article L. 121-6 of the highway code.
