Failure to wear seat belts is a problem raised by the captain of the departmental road safety squadron, Axel Jean: “More than 160 offenses already noted in 2022. And a record of 490 verbalizations in 2021. This also includes the lack of a child restraint system. The numbers have not gone down for several years. »
According to the officer, offenders often justify this non-wearing by a short journey: work. »
Delivery drivers are also very likely not to wear it, put it on their back, or have simply cut out the restraint system, using only the clipper. Failure to wear a seat belt entails the withdrawal of 3 points and a fine of €135.

The use of the telephone while driving is also the cause of fatal accidents in Eure-et-Loir. The road safety squadron fined 1,774 drivers in 2021. On Friday July 8, the prefect’s chief of staff, Yannis Bouzar, went to the A11 rest area, in Gasville-Oisème, in the direction of Paris- province :
“We are in prevention and repression mode. The stand allows discussion with the drivers. For the first time, an on-board mobile radar is circulating on the A11. »
The chief of staff took stock of the accidentology: “We deplored 21 people killed in 2021, including 6 in July, the darkest month of the year. Being present at the time of departure therefore makes sense to remind you of the safety measures. »
Since the beginning of 2022, seven people have lost their lives on the department’s roads.
In Eure-et-Loir, 23 people lost their lives on the roads in 2021
