Question 36097 — crimes, misdemeanors and contraventions

Summary

Mr. Grégory Labille alerts Mr. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice on criminal policy in matters of road traffic and particularly on that relating to accidents caused by drivers in a state of intoxication or under the influence of drugs. He reminds the Minister of the sad story of September 17, 2020 where a young medical student aged 21 was fatally struck by a drunk driver with 1.94 grams of alcohol per liter of blood while his driving license was revoked. He also reminds him of the dismay of the inhabitants of Amiens regarding the decision of the Amiens Court of Appeal of November 9. The Court of Appeal in fact sentenced the driver to three years in prison, two of which were suspended, while authorizing a modified sentence using an electronic bracelet. The murderer will therefore not receive any penalty of prison closed. The MP recalls that in 2019, 3,244 people lost their lives on the roads of mainland France and that drunk driving is one of the leading causes of death on the road with almost a third of fatal accidents attributable to it directly or indirectly. This figure, which has been growing continuously for 10 years, requires a strong reaction from the Ministry of Justice and in particular a policy stronger deterrent. He therefore asks him whether measures concerning criminal policy in matters of road traffic are planned in view of what he has previously mentioned and whether precise statistics concerning drunk driving offenses can be communicated publicly.
