May 11, 2011 - Interministerial Committee for Road Safety
On this day of launching the World Decade for Action for Road Safety (2011 - 2020) by the UN and the WHO decision to which France has contributed significantly, Prime Minister Francois Fillon, has chaired the fourth Interministerial Committee on Road Safety Board (IRB) of the mandate.Of the 103 measures decided by the IRB since 2008, 101 were implemented.
.The actions taken by the IRB’s May 11, 2011 aim to fight against the increase in road deaths recorded on French roads since the beginning of the year and the relaxation behavior that is the cause.
Without waiting for the implementation of these measures, the Prime Minister asked the Minister of the Interior, Overseas, local authorities and immigration to implement tighter controls on the roads, and any especially during the long weekends of June.
1-- Discourage speeding
Driving is an important act, which requires the driver to devote his full attention.
However, distractions (phone, text messaging, mobile Internet and other screens while driving …) are increasing, as are the risk behaviors of drivers underestimate the risks associated with fatigue and sleepiness
The lowering of attention to driving, whatever the cause is the cause of many tragedies of the road.Decisions of the IRB:
To end the irresponsible behavior of those who allow themselves to run at speeds very abusive, speeding over 50 km / h will now be legally qualified, the first offense, a misdemeanor.
The warning radars, which are an incitement to violate the rules on speed limits, will be banned.
Signs indicating the presence of speed cameras will be removed and the installation of radar maps will not be made ​​public
The information on the positioning of speed cameras in fact encourages some drivers to not respect the rules of proximity to their speeds.1 000 new radars will be deployed by the end of 2012, and next generation mobile radars, to monitor the speed of users from service vehicles, or semi-mobile (movable to secure such areas of sites) will be tested this year.
To help the vast majority of drivers mindful of speed limits to do so, all technologies to better control its speed will be favored with information about speed limits by GPS incentive clamping voluntary motor or the installation of a voluntary speed limiter.
These measures will be promoted by setting up a label “safe car” that will recognize the level of safety equipment of the vehicle, the label must be the subject of discussions will be held with industry, associations and insurers.2- Fight against alcohol and drugs on the road
Driving under the influence of alcohol is the leading cause of death and driving infringement: In 2009, 30% of those killed on the road are in an accident in the presence of alcohol above the legal rate.
Driving while alcohol multiplies by 8 the risk of being involved in a fatal crash by 14 and if more cannabis.: Decisions of the IRB:
The ability to conduct a blood test for the alcohol or the presence of drugs following a positive test conducted by law enforcement will be extended to nurses.
Using a alcolock be made ​​compulsory without delay for all transport of people with a alcolock.
Any alcohol in driving situations than 0.8 g / l will be punished by the withdrawal of 8 points, 6 cons now.
3 - Secure the use of motorized two-wheelers
The accident rate for drivers of motorized two-wheelers remains a concern in France.
They represented in 2010 approximately 24% of those killed on the road for less than 2% of traffic.Decisions of the IRB:
. License plates for two-wheelers will be larger to make it more effective controls.
Those that continue the use of a motorcycle after 5 year break will now undergo training if they have not driven a motorized two-wheelers over the past five years.
Drivers of motorcycles and tricycles must wear a retro-reflective equipment.
4 - Increase vigilance and combat driving all factors that reduce the focus on driving
Driving is an important act, which requires the driver to devote his full attention.
However, distractions (phone, text messaging, mobile Internet and other screens while driving …) are increasing, as are the risk behaviors of drivers underestimate the risks associated with fatigue and sleepiness.
The lowering of attention to driving, whatever the cause is the cause of many tragedies of the road.Decisions of the IRB:
Phone while driving, hand-held phone, will be punished more severely, with a contravention of the 4th class (instead of the 2nd class) giving rise to a withdrawal of three points in the driver’s license (instead of withdrawing two points).
In partnership with the mobile professional, technical solutions will be developed to help limit phone conversations while driving.
The penalties for driving with a screen device in operation in the field of vision (other aid to the conduct and navigation GPS type) will be compounded: the withdrawal of three points and fined 1,500 euros (fixed fine for this offense is now 135-euro fine and the withdrawal of two points).
Violators could face also with the seizure of the screen device.The traffic lane and emergency lane offset, though prohibited, is causing too many tragedies suffered by so many users of the highway that professionals involved in this network: non-compliance these rules will be punished more severely (135 euro fine, withdrawal of three points).
The bands sound banks, to prevent the driver falling asleep, be generalized on all the highways at a rate of roadworks.
5 - Provide more space for citizens in road safety policy
To maintain around the issue of road safety citizen mobilization that enabled the progress of recent years, action must be brought by road users as well as by governments.
They may not be as long as they are concerted, explained, evaluated and possibly corrected.Decisions of the IRB:
. A new National Council for road safety forum for debate and reflection on issues of road safety, will be reunited in a new configuration to the expanded membership.
The experiment conducted in 80 high schools to educate students about road safety will be gradually extended from September 2011.
The Interministerial Committee for Road Safety has also been a progress of actions taken since the spring of 2010 on the prevention of occupational road risk and decided to continue this action.

Hmm, just tried the link again and it worked ok 
Anyway, you seem to have x-posted the text here anyway…
I think the scariest thing of that document is the decision to make more training compulsory if you have passed a test but haven’t ridden a bike for 5 years. An idea that will probably follow us here.
There will also be lots of riots caused when Gerry Gendarme tries to take the Tom Tom out of a lorry 
Utter waste of time - and typical of French authorities’ attitude, tackling the problem from the wrong end. 8 points instead of 6 for driving over the limit is a joke, and the reason why so many people here still have a bottle of wine at midi (or half a dozen Pastis) before getting back in their cars/trucks. People feel they have nothing to lose by drink driving and until that changes we’ll still have to keep making allowances for other drivers’ foolishness.
“C’est du n’importe quoi” as they say in these parts
