Embedded radars, managed by private companies, will flash more vehicles.
French Road Safety announced Monday the launch of experimentation of embedded radars run by private companies, to the dismay of the association 40 million motorists who denounces their "privatization". It's a way to make more use of these radars. The test begins Friday in Normandy. It "will not give rise to any contravention" at first, ensures Road Safety.
The roads of Normandy will host the experimentation of embedded radars managed by private companies, as of Friday. This test will last until September 1st, when the device will be operational in Normandy with "the first radar car driven by a private operator" , before being "progressively extended to other regions" .
This launch follows the announcement by the government on October 2, 2015 of the "outsourcing" of the piloting of cars carrying the new generation mobile radars (RMNG), entrusted to "authorized service providers" by the State to multiply the Number of checks. A call for tenders had been launched.
"Generating large sums of money"
"The privatization of embedded radars has no other purpose than to generate, thanks to the fines resulting from the contraventions, large sums of money which will end up in the coffers of the State ... On the other hand, No proof that this measure has any positive effect on road safety , " said the president of 40 million motorists, Daniel Quero.
The association estimates that, at full capacity, this system will enable the State to collect 2.2 billion euros a year. Having gathered nearly 300,000 signatures in a petition against this "scandalous measure" , it calls Motorists to send them their photos which will then be broadcast for a "digital event" .
Companies roll automatic radars.
Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux announced on 8 January that the call for tenders had been launched so that these embarked radars "are entrusted to companies that will only drive them" . "They will remain under the responsibility of the State ," he assured, since the infractions are detected by the automatic radar embarked and that the speeding ticket is written by a police officer at the traffic offense processing center of Rennes.
"The average use of one of these radars is a little over an hour a day (1:13.), It is material that is underutilized. It needs much more use to ensure that the speeding behavior is punished, "explained Bruno Le Roux.
Private companies " will not be compensated for the number of infringements"
Private companies "will not be compensated for the number of infractions but for the time the radar has spent on the road ," he said.
This measure is part of a strategy to try to stop the increase in road fatalities since 2014. In 2016, 3,469 people died on the roads, an increase for the third consecutive year, the first since 1972.
