Abstract

Since the end of 2002 road safety has become a national priority. This report outlines France's road safety policy in relation to the authorities' actions on motorcycles, the systematic use of seatbelts, mobilising all road users, the control-penalty system and actions to benefit young people. Road safety policy covers such items as: the checking of road safety projects; education including trainee drivers and driving instructors; and technical regulations for vehicles and inspections. Research programmes such as the ARCOS project which aims to significantly reduce the number of accidents, and the LAVIA project to test and evaluate an in-vehicle speed limiter are described. France provides strong support to the EECV (European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee) by active participation in all working groups and forums. For the covering abstract see ITRD E145407.
