We’ve all done it at least once. Of course, this should be avoided, and we obviously won’t encourage you to do so. However, it is human nature to make mistakes, and sometimes you break the rules of the road, even if you don’t do it on purpose. A panel we didn’t see, or an oversight to look at the meter, and it’s a flash. In this case, if the excess is not too large, only one point is deducted, and the fine varies from 68 to 135 euros depending on the situation. And that’s obviously never really fun, especially when you’re sure you’re doing the speed limit.

An unusual offer

That is why the government decided to stop withdrawing points for small excesses of less than 5 km/h. The event, which will come into force on January 1, 2024, as announced by Gerald Darmanen, should please motorists. But be careful, because the penalty will still be applied! But now the senator has an idea that should make drivers even happier. Olivier Paccot, senator from Oise, has just made an even more radical proposal that should be a big success. He actually asks lifting of any sanctionseven financial for small excesses.

Provide some justice

The latter argues his point of view by the fact that ” to admit the exaggerated nature of these withdrawals would mean going even further. Let’s look into this situation and bring some justice back to our road safety policy“. Therefore, the senator simply asks the government a measure of amnesty in the letter He explains that “pressing too hard on the accelerator pedal, the road running too downhill is sometimes enough to pick up the needle of the meter too far“.
