Car Fule

We’ve been hearing about it for a while now. This is obviously the technical control for two-wheelers, which the government wants to make compulsory. Finally, rather the European Union, which imposes this measure on all its Member States. If France took time to submit to this will, now it has finally aligned itself with the position of the major authorities. So the periodic inspection will indeed be mandatory for motorcycles and scooters. However, no date of entry into force has been announced for the moment by the government, which fears a new discontent.

A big protest

Thus, a new major event is already planned throughout France. This will take place during the weekend of April 22 and 23. Dates announced by Didier Renoux, general delegate of the French Federation of Angry Bikers (FFMC). The latter is headwind against this measure which would have no use.

He explains that he has no news of the implementation of this control, ” neither with the technical control operators, nor with us« .
