The Ecotax has been postponed after the antics in Brittany where protesters were taking down gantry's over the roads which had been erected, which measured movements of vehicles and now they have attacked radars.
So far, 44 radars and five of the gantry-type tax “gateways” have been destroyed in Brittany and several of the electronic metering posts have also been destroyed in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Gard, Charente, Isère, Deux-Sèvres and in Deux-Sèvres and in Paris.
HGV drivers also ran “opérations escargots” go-slows on the A1 and A25 motorways near Lille, on the A46 near Lyon and on the RN7 near Montélimar.
They held a demonstration on the A55 near Marseille and, at Jugon-les-Lacs (Côtes-d'Armor) a speed camera was destroyed and around 700 protesters threw missiles at police who were protecting one of the tax gateways.
More of this report in the Connexion.
