Question 8377 — road safety

Summary

The Minister of the Interior recalls that excessive or inappropriate speed is present in a third of fatal accidents, the leading cause of road mortality as evidenced by the annual accident reports from the national interministerial observatory for road safety (ONISR). Also, the outsourcing of the driving of radar cars, decided during the interministerial road safety committee (CISR) of the October 2, 2015's priority objective is to combat excessive or inappropriate speed among road users. In addition, these radar vehicles with outsourced driving are mainly intended to control the bidirectional network on which the deadliest incidents take place and on which the lowering of the maximum authorized speed was decided on the occasion of the interministerial committee for road safety of the January 9, 2018. Furthermore, this measure of outsourcing the operation of radar cars is launched at a time when the long-term mobilization of law enforcement on multiple missions does not allow them to sufficiently use the radar cars available to law enforcement. Without substantially increasing the number of radars while freeing up personnel for other missions, this measure must encourage all drivers French and foreigners alike, to respect the maximum authorized speeds and thus guarantee their safety, that of their passengers and all road users.
