"The festive season is likely to worsen the disastrous human toll of road accidents. Prevention campaigns seem powerless to stem the rise in the number of casualties.", explains Maître Jehanne Collard, a solicitor specialising in representing road accident victims.
"The French, no doubt obsessed with the threat of terrorism, are no longer aware of the dangers they face on a daily basis. A 68-year-old man drives under the influence of alcohol and cannabis. He kills two innocent people, including a child, without provoking the slightest emotion. At the same time, tens of thousands of people are rallying to defend a school bus driver implicated in the deaths of the six children in Millas, without knowing the details of the investigation. It is time for the authorities to put a stop to this worrying trend. It is time to rally public opinion once again against criminal behaviour on the roads. I have high hopes for the decisions due to be announced in January." she explained to Emergency Information.
