FFM (French Federation of Motorcyclists) and FFMC (same, but added C for anger) champagne appeared on Tuesday, when announcing the withdrawal of the decree to make technical control of motorcycles mandatory. After twelve years of debates, demonstrations, and political travels, the engine was shut down. “ We have shown, with supporting figures, that the technical examination has nothing to do with road safety,” summonedDidier Renaud, General Delegate fact finding mission, After his meeting with the Ministry of Transport.
