Renforcer les peines encourues par les conducteurs de véhicules terrestres à moteur à l’origine de violences volontaires à l’égard des cyclistes

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This French private member's bill, a proposition de loi ordinaire in the National Assembly's 15th legislature, would increase the criminal penalties for motor vehicle drivers who commit intentional violence against cyclists. It aims to deter aggressive driving toward people on bicycles and to give courts stronger sanctions for such acts. Based on the title alone, it amends criminal law rather than traffic rules. The main people affected would be drivers who deliberately use a vehicle to injure cyclists, and cyclists who are victims of such violence. Courts and prosecutors would be responsible for applying the revised sentencing. The exact penalty levels and scope are not visible from the metadata and would need the full bill text.
