For many years, the state has been monitoring the smallest speed violation. And for this, he is ready to invest resources, significantly strengthening radars and other devices of all kinds. Sections, towers, radar machines, everyone will find something for themselves. And it works because the income from these offenses is particularly high. At the same time, the government wants to do a small favor for motorists by no longer deducting points from speeding by less than 5 km/h. Good news for drivers. But some are real experts in overtaking, like our protagonist of the day.

By order of the President of the Republic, from January 1, 2024, points will no longer be deducted for exceeding the speed of less than 5 km/h. The fine will, of course, be saved.
A measure of common sense for our fellow citizens.

A big overshoot

The story we tell you today takes place in the Doux department, more precisely on the RN 57 near Besançon. This Saturday around 5:30 p.m. the gendarmes of the École-Valentin motorized platoon are conducting speed controllers. Quite a banal situation. Also, suddenly they see a car rolling towards Pontarlier at a very high speed. Soldiers do record 170 km/h instead of 110 km/h. Then they chased after him to be able to stop him. But the story does not end there, on the contrary.

Then the second

Indeed, instead of complying, the driver continued to flee and made a U-turn at a roundabout before heading off again in the direction of Besançon, a few kilometers away. He then passed in front of the gendarmes, who remained on the scene, and was again flagged down, this time at 185 km/h. It continues to roll before leaving the road, without the force of gravity. Now he will have to face justice, and his car has been seized. His license was also revoked. administrative body.
