While the deployment of radars cars is strongly criticized, the driver’s job and the remuneration question.
This is one of the novelties of 2025 that many French people would have gone well. In a few weeks, new Radar cars will land on many roads. After Burgundy-Franche-Comté, Brittany, Center-Val de Loire, Grand Est, Hauts-de-France, Normandy, New Aquitaine and the Pays de la Loire, these control vehicles will now Their appearance in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Occitania in the PACA region.

In 2021, the average annual salary was 22,000 euros gross per year, or 1429 euros net at the time, according to a study carried out by the Driver Defense League. Taking into account a salary development of less than 10% in four years, this therefore revolves well around 1600 euros net per month.

Carry out a tour of the region, driving a vehicle equipped with “mobile field equipment”, in other words a radar, specifies Mobicom. And this, day and night, weekdays or weekends, and even on holidays.
