Although driving may seem simple when you get used to it, you should always remember that it is actually not that trivial. Indeed, no one is immune to an accident caused by himself or by someone else, and therefore we must always exercise great vigilance to minimize the risks. Even if we know that zero risk does not exist. To remind us of this, Road Safety publishes monthly road death figures. And the November ones are not very famous…

Reflections on the project to no longer remove points from the driver’s license of drivers guilty of minor speed violations continue! https://t.co/w2bQX7OYx4

Road accidents are increasing

For about three months actuallyNational Interministerial Observatory of road safety (ONISR) records an increase in mortality. Last month alone, at least 281 people died on the roads, which is 16% more than in the same period last year. Motorists pay the highest price with 148 deaths, followed by pedestrians with 56 deaths last month. 33 two-wheeler drivers were also killed in November.

Fewer injuries

Unsurprisingly, accidents involving cyclists are also on the rise, particularly due to the increase in urban cyclists. So, last month it was 16 cyclists died and 143 were injured. Although there was also one death in EDPm (motorized personal vehicles) such as electric scooters. However, the number of injuries fell by 2%, with 4,535 injury accidents reported on the French mainland last month.
