The government would like to remove the minus points for minor speeding, to the chagrin of road safety associations.

No need to press the accelerator a lot: one km/h too much, and it’s already the assurance of losing a point on your licence. But the rule may soon change. Finished the withdrawal of a point below an excess of five km/h, the fine would be maintained. While some motorists welcome the news with joy, others are more skeptical. “It does not send a good signal. It shows that there is tolerance”regrets a motorist.

For road safety activists, in fact, the lifting of sanctions would be a very bad signal, and could cause the number of serious accidents to start rising again. In recent years, micro-speeding has increased a lot. In 2020, they gave rise to 7.2 million fines, that is 58% of all overruns. Officially the government would be at the reflection stage, but the Minister of the Interior would like it to be implemented by the end of next year.
