Patrick Chesnais hopes that the Pierre Palmade affair will make drivers think
After the mother of Antoine Alleno, whose son was killed by a drunk driver without a license, it was Patrick Chesnais, who was questioned in the columns of the newspaper Provence, this Tuesday, February 21 about the collision caused by Pierre Palmade. His son Ferdinand died tragically in a road accident in 2006, when he was only 20 years old. The actor believes that the Palmade affair “takes up too much space in the news”. But he is satisfied with the latest announcements from Gérald Darmanin, the interior minister. “Anything that goes in the direction of a hardening of the response to driving in an alcoholic state or after taking narcotics, goes in the right direction”, he observes. He wishes that “everyone becomes aware that when you get into a car under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you are a danger and you are outside the law”. “Taking off twelve points is the minimum. What does that mean? That we no longer have the license, we know that we have been punished, sanctioned. For a while, we don’t drive more”, he clarifies, noting that it is not “the worst punishment”. “If the drama of the Palmade case could make people aware of the impossibility of driving after smoking or taking drugs, that would be another breakthrough”, he concludes.
