"Putting an end to the impunity and inequality of treatment between European citizens with respect to traffic offences committed in Europe, such is the aim of this new legislation which I voted for. Indeed, it has been proven that when drivers drive in other countries, they are more likely to commit a traffic offence. This is very damaging in terms of road safety.
Despite strong resistance from the Council, it has been possible to end up with a balanced approach: while respecting penalties at national level, it is targeted at eight offences identified as causing risk (speeding, drink-driving, non-use of a seat belt, failing to stop at a red light, drugs, failing to wear a helmet, driving on a restricted lane and using a mobile telephone while driving), some of which can cause lethal accidents, which is significant.
Thanks to its determination, the European Parliament has also obtained a firm
clause for a subsequent revision of the text so as to envisage going further in the future towards common road safety rules, which I welcome."@en1
