Penalties will be reduced. Small speeding will no longer be penalized by a deduction of points from January 1, 2024, announced the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin in a letter to Senator Les Républicains du Var Françoise Dumont, dated April 11.
“Work has been undertaken at my request to adapt the repressive regime applicable to minor speeding violations”those “less than 5 km/h”explains the minister to the senator in this letter revealed, Wednesday, April 19, by the regional daily Nice morning and authenticated by AFP with the elected official. But “it will not be a question of decriminalizing these offenses which will remain sanctioned by a fine”adds Gérald Darmanin in this text.
A possibility already mentioned by the Minister
The Minister of the Interior had mentioned on Twitter in February his desire to remove the withdrawal of points for very small speeding.
On the other hand, he wanted to toughen the penalties for those who drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, at the time of the Pierre Palmade affair.
