Investigation of highway deaths | TF1 | Le Droit de savoir

Paris. She wanted to cross in a pedestrian crossing. She never got to the other side. A passing truck broke both her legs, a hit and run accident, the truck driver fleeing. He was found a few hours later by the police. The woman had died. Inevitable conclusion: the roads of France kill. More than eight thousand people die on them every year. Twenty-three people die every day on the French highways. The highway kills and it breaks the hearts forever of the families of the victims. Should all these deaths and these injuries simply be chalked up to fatality? The road kills and creates lifelong handicaps. In Europe, France is among those at the top of the list for having the most murderous highways. What can justify this ” French exception ” ? The behavior at the wheel most to blame: carelessness, irresponsibility, aggressive driving. The passenger compartments of our automobiles have been transformed into lawless zones. For some drivers, the driver’s license has become a license to kill.
