nomoss Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 What a pity. It might have forced those motards with really noisy exhausts who scream along the road by our house to fit the correct silencers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 There is already a crackdown on excessively noisy vehicles using decibel meters linked to some speed cameras. https://actu.fr/societe/radar-anti-bruit-des-amendes-pour-les-motards-a-partir-de-2022_43744952.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hate to agree with you, Brit, but it is necessary to catch the few cowboys about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehaut Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 The new noise system is called the Meduse I think. I only recently learnt that the makers design noise level in db is on the CdeG. So the control should be equally effective against cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motorcycle CT planned for introduction in 2023 has been cancelled for good. https://www.sudouest.fr/economie/transports/le-gouvernement-enterre-definitivement-le-controle-technique-des-deux-roues-11778470.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking how hard can it be to enable forum members to post new topics, surely that's the whole point of a forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 I am a keen biker and try to keep my bike in road worthy condition, either myself or through a garage. The mechanic there said many of the bikes he has in to do tyre changes would not past the CT. Here in Nantes you see quite a few delivery scooters held together with masking tape - not a recognised repair. Its difficult to justify, but the fear of more manifestations seems to do the trick in this one instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be aware that the proposed but now cancelled CT for bikes was for all bikes over 125 cc, so not including the death-trap scooters and mopeds that are either not maintained at all or suffer from teenage mechanic's attentions. They were excluded from the proposed CT so as not to cause the riders who were mostly from low-income backgrounds, a financial burden apparently! Being an apprentice trained engineer, having worked for a well known engine manufacturer and subsequently a partner in an engine and transmission shop I carry out all my own maintenance on the basis that I take care of what I'm doing, the majority of dealer workshops don't.

Now having a working forum again I thought I remind all motorcyclists that since this thread in 2022 the CT is now live again and came into force on April 15th 2024. It's a bit of a shambles at the moment - lack of trained testers. "I have asked at various CT stations near me recently and none are going to actually do the test at all. A DEKRA station tester said his training was not until September / October and he couldn’t make any appointments yet. I explained I had 6 motos that would all need to be checked before the September 29th deadline and he did the usual shrug of the shoulders. May be I will just take a chance and take the €90 fine - unless there are points deducted as well" (no points are deducted) From a biker in 72130 Alpes Quote off the record from a controller (tester)"I shouldn't say it, but I advise motorcyclists to take their test as soon as possible, because it will be lighter. All the equipment will probably only be available in the first half of 2025." This time the CT is compulsory for all powered two wheelers and three and four wheelers not covered by the current car test.
