We can now move more than 100 kilometers

This is a layout that is suitable for moving. Since this Thursday, May 21, a new version of the certificate travel beyond 100 km allows you to settle your real estate affairs While until now people wishing to move or manage their real estate affairs had to tick the “compelling family reason” box, a new possibility has just been added for them . From now on, an 8th box allows the “travel related to a move resulting from a change of residence and travel essential to the acquisition or rental of real estate that cannot be deferred.“

A new derogation which lifts the vagueness which hitherto weighed on the sector. As a reminder, since May 11, it is illegal to travel more than 100km as the crow flies around your home unless it is in the same department. Moving companies had gradually obtained exemptions in order to be able to continue their activities beyond this 100 km border. They obtained recognition of their professional card as well as travel facilitation. Indeed, the government has published a arrested on May 2 the latter which exceptionally lifts the ban on the circulation of heavy goods vehicles over 7.5t making a move on Ascension Thursday, Pentecost Sunday and Monday June 1st. Positive signals for the real estate sector hitherto paralyzed by confinement.

100km rule: a thousand fines out of 200,000 checks

Despite these flexibilities, the government intends to enforce the ban on driving beyond 100 km. “There will be checks”, warned Tuesday on BFMTV the Secretary of State for Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari who indicated that nearly a thousand fines of 135 euros had already been imposed, out of 200,000 checks. “There will be strong mobilizations of the police, not to annoy the French but to ensure compliance with the rules,” he said. Police and gendarmes will intensify checks in stations and around national roads and motorway tolls. But according to 20minutes, the police intend to “show discernment” and “benevolence”.
