Penalties will be heavier in the event of multiple offences. “This is a new sanction that is provided for in the event of a combination of alcohol and narcotics. Now it’s minus eight license points. Today, it’s minus six points for alcohol, minus six points for drugs , without cumulation”indicates the journalist Jean-Christophe Batteria, Monday, July 17. “Statistically, the accumulation of alcohol and drugs multiplies by 29 the risk of fatal accident”he says.
Evolution of the offense of excessive speeding
In the event of a positive narcotics test, the prefect must systematically pronounce a license suspension ranging from six months to one year. The files are now examined on a case-by-case basis, and the prefects will be able to decide on the confiscation of the vehicle. The offense of extreme speeding is also now established from 50 km / h above the limit. Finally, an application will allow you to constantly check your points balance.
