Fin de l'impunité pour les véhicules d'État : le ministère des Transports passe à l'offensive

The whistle has blown for reckless drivers of official vehicles. In an official statement released on Friday, February 20, 2026 , the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs announced a drastic measure: the immediate withdrawal of official vehicles from any employee found guilty of traffic violations.

Behaviors under scrutiny

This decision follows a rise in dangerous behavior involving vehicles with "official" (administrative or diplomatic) license plates. The ministry is particularly targeting three problems:

Driving in the wrong direction (against the flow of traffic).
Failure to obey traffic lights .
The deliberate concealment of license plates.

Reminder of the law: No special treatment

Through its chief of staff, Dioman Coné, the ministry sought to set the record straight. Referring to decree no. 2016-864 , it reiterated that the use of a state vehicle does not grant immunity from the Highway Code.

"These plates do not confer any special privileges," the statement emphasizes, specifying that the removal of the vehicle will be done independently of the criminal and administrative proceedings already provided for by law.

Call for citizen vigilance

To ensure the effectiveness of this measure, the ministry is counting on public participation. Road users are now encouraged to report violations through official channels, providing:

The exact location of the incident.
Visual evidence (photos or videos).
