In March 2021, 185 fatalities occurred on the roads of mainland France and 22 overseas.

The travel restrictions linked to the curfew in particular have reduced road accidents. Unlike the first lockdown in 2020, the number of fatalities has fallen more than the number of injuries.

According to near-final results from 2020, 2,782 people died in 2020 on French roads, mainland or overseas.

Behaviours are observed by a specialised company on behalf of ONISR. They survey the use of seat belts, the use of helmets for motorcyclists and cyclists, the use of telephones while driving and vehicle occupancy.

In 2019, more than 26 million traffic violations were reported by national police forces, ANTAI, and municipal police.
