The executive wants to increase the penalties in the event of road accidents under the influence. In this context, Elisabeth Borne announced on Monday at the end of an Interministerial Committee for Road Safety (IRB) that she wanted to “make compulsory” the suspension of the license in the event of driving under the influence of narcotics.
To fight against “the scourge” of addictive behavior while driving, the Prime Minister declared that the government intended to be “intractable” and “severely punish addictive behavior” by making “automatic the suspension of the license in the event of driving under the narcotics”.
