There are more and more radar-equipped cars on French roads now. And this, unfortunately, should not improve. And it is not for nothing that the government wants to deploy them even more and really everywhere to fight speeding. But not only, because it is also necessary to make this investment profitable, which from the beginning cost the state several million euros. But these speed cameras always cause controversy, the cars are driven by employees of private companies, not real policemen. This creates a real ethical problem.

WARNING! Since 2015 and the appearance of Crit’Air vignettes, traffic restrictions apply to certain vehicles in large cities. Shall we summarize together? 🚙 #MyMoreResponsibleProject

A small problem

But while airborne radar cars are becoming more common and now rampant everywhere, they can’t live forever. Indeed, you should know that the vast majority of these cars run on diesel. This means they have a Crit’Air 2 thumbnail. However, it will soon be banned in many cities that have become VZZs. Are these cars destined to disappear? Unfortunately, no, because the government has a solution. He believes that ZFE control systems will be able to recognize these radar machines without verbalizing them. Exceptions will indeed be thrown.

Still without electricity

So far, the government does not plan to develop the park before integration gasoline or electric cars. He explains that ” radar cars are newer compact or sedan models, but require a diesel engine (Crit’Air 2 sticker) because the equipment built into the vehicle requires minimal engine power“. Adaptation works are currently being carried out vehicles under Crit’Air 1 classificationon the other hand, we are not yet ready to see the advent of electric cars.
