When we hit the road, especially if we drive regularly, we all run the risk of having a flare-up at one point or another. And it has nothing to do with whether you are a bad driver or not. In fact, there are so many speed cameras these days that anyone can run the risk of being caught at even the smallest step. Because it can happen that we simply did not see the speed limit sign, or we were distracted and were not alert to the speed at which we are moving. In short, no one is safe from existence verbify on the road, even the best.
Officially: from January 1, the withdrawal of a license point for exceeding the speed of less than 5 km/h will be stopped. The fine will, of course, be saved. The event will be effective from January 1.
A measure of common sense for our fellow citizens!…— Gerald Darmanin (@GDarmanin) December 8, 2023
End of withdrawal
But a few months ago, the government announced the introduction of a new measure. Thus, from January 1 of the following year, a minor speeding of less than 5 km/h will no longer be punished by the removal of points. So the state kept its promise as the idea finally went into effect yesterday morning. Very good news for motorists who will be able to relieve a little pressure behind the wheel. But be careful, because small excesses will always be punished with a fine. The latter fluctuates as follows from 45 to 135 euros depending on the type of track.
Not everyone agrees
This measure has already been welcomed by drivers who are a little more confident on the road. But that doesn’t satisfy some who fear the increase road accidents. Some associations against road violence have condemned the alarming change of direction by the government. For them, “this is a bad signal for motorists who will drive faster.” However, not sure that 5km/h really makes a big difference in the number of accidents, but the numbers will show that in a bit.
