This makes the "big" titles at this moment in France and this is a translation of an article published on the newspaper Le Monde's* website :
"The weekly Autoplus reveals, in its number published on Tuesday, 23 of October, an official report of 2006 that displays, according to the weekly, important "measurement mistakes" from radars measuring speed, fixed or taken on board. This report, whose the weekly publishes a few extracts in facsimile, was made by the Headquarters of the Est defense zone (Metz – Alsace Lorraine, German won't have them** !!!)
This report displays measurement mistakes and its consequences on the juridical plan generated by this frequent wrong positioning of the fixed and taken on board radars and proposes technical suggestions in order to avoid objections about the use of theses devices. This report was transmitted, in June 2006, according to Autoplus, to the general inspection of the national police and to the direction of the interministerial projest for automatised control.
Interviewed by the AFP (Agence France Presse), the Ministry of the Interior wasn't in position to react on monday evening. The total outcome of the fines generated bay the radars rise to about 350 millions € in 2006. At the end of the year, 2 000 radars (2/3 fixed and 1/3 taken on board) will be in use on the french roads.
Autoplus got nabbed, in its tuedays 2 October edition, president Nicolas Sarkozy and his prime minister, François Fillon, for repeted driving offences, specially for over speed limit and burns down attributable to theur drivers. The weekly explains they wanted to put the government on try."
First, about Autoplus, it's a weekly only about cars (I guesse the name is explicit enough) and often survey politics who care about "road brutality"*** (tall order) by making laws and often make driving offences...
According to other articles, the radars must be at 25° commparatively to the road and if the radar is at 22° instead, then the mistake on the measurement can be of 12 km/h so you could be declared over speed limit...
Thirdly, the report was made in 2006 !!! And we learn about that one year after, and I recall that Sarkozy was minister of the Interior at this time or, at least, HE decided to put more radars on our roads. I wonder why we know that so late...
