Explanation:
Road safety
The government announced, Sunday, July 21, the creation of a traffic police and specified the tracks on which it was working to strengthen road safety: installation of black boxes in cars or sneak tickets at tolls, indicated the Minister of Transport in Le Journal du dimanche. For his part, the Minister of the Interior confirmed Monday (July 22nd) his objective of creating a traffic police. To everyone's surprise, he spoke at length about road safety - which he announced would be one of the "three big projects" of his five-year term - during his televised speech on July 14. "I am absolutely horrified by the fact that French roads are the most dangerous in Europe," he stressed. With 2.3 times more fatalities than in Great Britain, France is in fact in tenth place in the European Union. The road disaster fails to abate despite the will of successive Transport Ministers. They had wanted to halve the number of people killed in five years: the drop was only 10%. The following year, road deaths reached 8,160, up 1% from the previous year, according to the National Interministerial Road Safety Observatory (Onisr).
