Nouvelle hausse du nombre de morts sur les routes en mai dernier. La sécurité a annoncé ce jeudi que 265 personnes ont été tuées, soit 1,9% par rapport au mois de mai 2014. C’est le quatrième mois de hausse depuis le début de l’année 2015.

The number of road deaths reached a new high for May 2015. The road safety authority announced today that 265 people were killed, being a 1.9% increase on May 2014. This is the fourth monthly rise since the beginning of 2015.

Depuis le début de l’année, c’est le quatrième mois d’augmentation. Seul mars a connu une légère diminution de la mortalité. Alors pour Emmanuel Barbe, le délégué interministériel à la circulation routière : “il nous faut aller vite et loin car nous avons une situation préoccupante”. En 2014, les accidents mortels étaient en hausse pour la première fois depuis 12 ans et “le début de l’année 2015 ne dément malheureusement pas cette mauvaise tendance”, a déploré Emmanuel Barbe.

Since the start of the year, this is the fourth monthly increase. Only March saw a minor decrease in road deaths. As a result Emmanuel Barbe, road traffic inter-ministerial delegate said: We must move fast and far because we have an urgent per-occupying situation. In 2014 fatal accidents increased for the first time in 12 years and “the start of 2015 has unfortunately not changed this bad trend” deplored Emmanuel Barbe.

Deux nouvelles mesures au 1er juillet prochain.

They follow those proposed in January by Bernard Cazeneuve and will be vigorously enforced from the first of July: the prohibited use of earphones while moving by car, motorbike and bicycle, while the alcohol level for new drivers goes from 0.5g/ltr to 0.2g/ltr.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
