From the third or fourth semester of the year 2021, 45 private radar cars will arrive in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The objective of this initiative is to control the speed of drivers.
Discreet cars
A car with an on-board radar? It is now possible. GSR won the tender for 16.5 million euros over four years. If before you had to pay attention to the gendarmes and fixed speed cameras on the side of the road, from now on it is the car which controls its own speed.
These cars are unmarked but there is a radar in the front and another in the rear without flash. In order not to be spotted, the drivers of the cars of this private company follow a precise route through the departments, 7 days sir 7. Predefined by the prefectures which judge the most dangerous journeys, it is essentially the roads which count the most. accidents that are covered.
Paid by the kilometer
Who can drive their car? Everybody ! But be careful, you must first have a three-year license and at least 10 points. Finally, the Minister of the Interior announced that these drivers will be paid not according to the number of cars flashed, but according to the number of kilometers fixed by the State. The deputy secretary general of the police alliance union, Philippe Dosba, also communicated the following: “There will be a waste in the controls”. In other words, it will however be impossible to know the condition of the driver (alcohol, drugs, etc.)
