Should motorists who exceed speed limits by very little on the radar be sanctioned?
For the association 40 million motorists, the answer is no.
She says she is shocked by the latest figures published by the Ministry of the Interior.
“58% of speeding tickets are issued for overruns of… less than 5km/h of the maximum authorized speed”, reports the association on its Twitter account.

“France is the only European country to sanction these small speedings so severely”, abound the members.
They simply propose to remove these fines for these offenses "often involuntary and almost never accident-prone".
But on the side of the Road Prevention association, we do not really share the same opinion.
“You will always create an additional threshold effect: that is to say, you will be tolerant with 5 km/h, and therefore those who drive more than 10 km/h will in turn protest, and say that “there is no reason to sanction them either”, declares to Franceinfo Anne Lavaud, general delegate of the association.
