Le début de l’année 2015 est inquiétant en matière de sécurité routière. Après le bond de 12% de la mortalité affichée en janvier, les chiffres de février ont été communiqués jeudi par l’Observatoire national interministériel de la sécurité routière (ONISR). La hausse est moins forte, mais la tendance ne s’est pas renversée. La mortalité routière a augmenté de 6,7% par rapport à février 2014. 240 morts ont été recensés contre 225 en février 2014.

Moins d’accidents mais des chocs plus graves.                                Less accidents but more serious crashes.

En février dernier, moins d’accidents corporels ont été comptabilisés sur les routes de France. La baisse par rapport à février 2015 n’est pas négligeable puisqu’elle se situe à 9,4%, soit 384 accidents en moins, pendant un mois hivernal et des départs en vacances. Le nombre de blessés est aussi en diminution avec une baisse évaluée à 8,7%.
En revanche, la mortalité est en hausse de 5,1% sur les 12 derniers mois, soit de mars 2014 à février 2015. Selon l’ONISR, seule la catégorie des motards (conducteurs et passagers) semble se stabiliser. La hausse concerne donc toujours et principalement les piétons, les automobilistes et les cyclomotoristes.

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.
