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

A little speeding, it happens to everyone, even the most attentive and best students. A little inattention – and it’s a flash, in the best case – a fine of 90 euros and the removal of a point from the driver’s license. But sometimes it happens that the excess is especially important. And in this case, we can no longer talk about a minor mistake, but about a crime with more significant consequences for the driver than for other road users. If you are going to more than 50 km/h above the speed limit, you face very severe penalties, including a large fine and suspension of your driver’s license.
An automatic speed camera on the RD 137 in St Sulpice d’Arnoult has been terrorizing drivers in recent days, flashing as they obey the speed limit!

No tolerance
But some departments decided to go even further. This is especially true of Ain, who actively took up the cause to fight road deaths. More than 40 people actually died on its roads for the entire year 2022. And against this, Prefect Cécile Bigot-Dekeyser wants to act and has introduced measures that should discourage speeders. Indeed, any vehicle traveling more than 50 km/h above the maximum will simply be impounded. Then it will be placed in a pound for seven days. This can be extended at the discretion of the prosecutor.
other offenses
But that’s not all, because other offenses are also indicated. This is especially true driving without a license or intoxicated. If you get behind the wheel after taking drugs, or if you refuse to comply, this will also be the same penalty. Of course, the offender will pay fines for confiscation, and foreign drivers will not suffer either. Suffice it to say that he must drive straight down the roads of Ain.
Sometimes it happens that the radar highlights a speeding driver, but he does not receive a traffic ticket! https://t.co/eNzBECUAIE?utm_campaign=post-auto&utm_medium=twitter
