“No to technical control, and no to the obstruction of our freedoms!

Like hundreds of other bikers gathered this Sunday, avenue Foch (Paris XVI) at the call of the French Federation of angry bikers, this "bike fan" came to demonstrate against the reinstatement of technical control for the two- wheels.
In its judgment of October 31, the Council of State ruled that “the measures proposed by the Government to derogate from the European obligation of technical inspection do not comply with EU requirements (…) because they do not do not make it possible to improve the safety of motorcyclists on the road in a sufficiently effective and significant manner.
“However, for Jean-Marc Belotti, coordinator of angry bikers, “this technical control will have no effect on the accident rate of two wheels”: less than 0.3% of accidents are due to a mechanical incident.
Among bitumen lovers, it is above all the obligation to use an “unknown mechanic” that is frightening.
“I can't imagine anyone getting on my bike to do a technical check,” says Didier.
It weighs 400 kg, (…) there would not be a second on it”.
"There is no confidence in the mechanics at all", adds Isabelle.
On average, the price of a technical control in Europe varies between 10 and 40 euros.
