The Bagnols-sur-Cèze gendarmerie company has set up an exceptional system for New Year's Eve, with 35 gendarmes, under the command of Commander Delobel, deployed throughout the territory. Their mission: to guarantee road safety by applying a strong enforcement policy and zero tolerance for risky behavior.
Massive mobilization for targeted controls
Multiple checkpoints have been installed on the main roads in the Gard Rhone region, with a clear objective: to sanction any infraction that could endanger road users. The gendarmes have been carrying out systematic checks since 4 p.m. and until tomorrow morning to detect:
• Drunk drivingwith breathalyzers deployed at each control;
• Drug useidentified through saliva tests;
• Using the phone while drivingmajor source of distraction and accidents;
• Speedingregularly observed when returning from evenings.
Zero tolerance: immediate repression
The company commander, Julien Delobel, insisted on the importance of this uncompromising approach:
“New Year’s Eve is a festive evening, but this cannot be at the expense of safety. We have adopted zero tolerance: any detected infraction will be sanctioned without exception. »
Strict but necessary measures
The police will thus remind us that when it comes to road safety, prevention alone is not enough. Strong repression is essential to deter irresponsible behavior.
“Each infraction observed can be a tragedy avoided. A driver under the influence is potentially a shattered life, or even several,” thus indicates the commander.
This system illustrates a clear desire on the part of the authorities to make road safety an absolute priority, even at the cost of measures perceived as severe. For the gendarmes of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, a successful party is a party where everyone returns home safe and sound.
