It's not yesterday: Speed ​​limits - 20 Minutes

When we talk about speed limits, Emmanuel Macron replies "joker". That is to say if the debate is tense. Tense and far from new. As soon as the first cars appeared, the question of limiting their speed arose.

Driven by manufacturers' innovation, the speed of our cars has not stopped increasing. And, like the force that counterbalances the dark side, questions of security and environmental protection have constantly tried to limit it. In the middle, drivers, who too often have the impression of being caught in a pincer, and who sometimes find it difficult to contain themselves at the microphones of journalists.

Macron doesn't want to hear this song

So when the 150 of the Citizen Climate Convention proposes, among their 149 measures, to go from 130 km / h to 110 km / h the maximum speed allowed on highways, it is as if a new part had just been introduced into the speed limit jukebox.

Everyone knows their score. Some speak of an attack on freedoms. The rest of hope and life. And the drivers are unhappy. Emmanuel Macron, opposing his joker, unplugged the power outlet. Obviously, he didn't want to hear this song.
