Question 43282 — road safety

Summary

Mr. Hervé Pellois draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the rules applicable to emergency ambulance drivers regarding the driving of vehicles. Decree No. 2019-1260 of November 29, 2019 relating to the driving of certain vehicles assigned to civil security missions (creating article R. 221-4-1 of the Highway Code) authorizes firefighters and approved civil security associations holding a driving license of category B to drive emergency vehicles whose total authorized weight (GVWR) is greater than 3,500 kilograms without exceeding 4,500 kilograms. This provision unfortunately does not concern ambulance drivers. However, the latter must also have equipment adapted to their mission. However, rescue services require more and more technical expertise and therefore more and more on-board equipment. These tools are heavy and force them to equip themselves with ambulances on heavy-duty chassis. Also, he would like to know if the ministry plans to allow emergency ambulance workers to benefit from the provisions of article R. 221-4-1 of the highway code.
