PV: the departments where there is the most risk of being verbalized

In 2022, according to Road Safety, the number of reports (PV) distributed has returned to its pre-health crisis level. Following the episode of the Yellow Vests and the confinements linked to Covid-19, the State saw its income based on offenses greatly reduced. This year, their level has returned to normal.

In France, more than 40 million reports are drawn up each year, i.e. as many as motorists on the roads. A figure that could increase further since the arsenal for the repression of motor vehicle offenses is increasingly efficient: privatization of radar cars, new generation automatic radars, automated parking control… Since January 1, 2023, there has been added the creation low mobility emission zones (ZFE).

According to Auto Plus, motorists are not all equal when it comes to fines. According to the automotive news magazine, there is more risk of being fined in some departments than in others.

In its latest report, Road Safety published a map of the number of PVs reported to the population of each department. This map is based on the place where the offense was observed and makes it possible to establish a classification of the departments where the risk of being fined is the highest, reports Auto Plus.

Thanks to this map, we can see that the Côte-d’Or department saw the greatest increase in its number of PVs between 2020 and 2021 with an increase of 31%. In Creuse (29%) and Loire (24%), the increase was also substantial. On the other hand, the number of fines has decreased in the departments of Vaucluse (-21%), in Maine-et-Loire (-17%) and in Loiret (-17%).
