While the mortality figures on French roads are important, new methods could be used in an attempt to limit the tragedies on the road, including the jamming of reports made by motorists on applications.
The navigation applications on the phones have several functions, including the signaling of the presence of police officers and speed cameras, thanks to the collaboration of motorists. A practice assumed by many motorists, in order to avoid fines. “I report, I do my best to help travelers, it’s always a pleasure“Says a motorist. But the government now wants to act.
Among the measures suggested by the government, alcohol and narcotics checks made invisible to users of these applications, as well as the ban on reporting in the event of criminal research and kidnapping alerts. To achieve this, it would be necessary to cut the flow of reports and create a bubble around the control area. While the decree has been in effect since November 1, the practice is still not at work. A delay regretted by motorist associations, while nearly one in two deaths on the roads is linked to alcohol or drugs.
