When you own your car, it is mandatory to carry out certain operations, such as insurance and technical inspection.

A technical review caused by great controversy

This is important and helps ensure that your vehicle is in good condition. But earlier two-wheelers were exempted, soon this will change. Indeed, on April 15, a technical inspection took place in motorized two-wheelers (CT2RM) will be gradually implemented. But before that deadline, demonstrations by bikers opposing the measure are growing. These protests are most often organized at the initiative of the French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC), which is increasing its actions. The federation’s mobilization extends to the entire country, but departmental branches also play an important role. The latest example is the Vienna branch (FFMC 86). Its president, Manuel Repentin, is calling for the fight to continue, saying the battle is not over yet. In fact, he explains that “these technical means of control are organized theft introduced by initiativeEuropean lobby led by the Dekra brand. They claim that 8% of motorized two-wheeler accidents are due to technical problems, when in reality it is less than 0.5%.”

Strong mobilization against technical control

When it comes to boycotting centers that practice CT2RM, FFMC has just released a new weapon: a map, regularly updated by the community, listing centers to avoid. Indeed, for the opponents of this measure, this technical control is an obstacle to the mobility of young people. Indeed, according to FFMC, “they won’t go there. There are many holes in the racket.” In addition, the organization explains that “if you are a motorcyclist, you know what checks should be systematically carried out on your machine. It Security questions. Not to mention the fact that these are technical points that are taught when the license is issued. And they will charge us 50 euros for it for a simple visual inspection that we do every day! “. The FFMC recalls that “consultations have been launched in each department to gather ideas for new measures.” An appeal has also been submitted to the State Council “to challenge the decree and order of October 23, 2023.”

Whether or not this massive mobilization will have an impact remains to be seen. Which now seems to be going pretty badly…
