We were all in a hurry, either because we were in a hurry or because we were late. And in this case, we must have already happened to drive a little above the speed limit. Of course, it’s not the right thing to do, and it can obviously be dangerous, but we’re human. And let the one who has never done this be the first to throw a stone at us. But it happens that some are not ashamed play within the law and it doesn’t seem to bother them. So much so that they don’t even hesitate to come up with sometimes quite absurd excuses, hoping to get away with it. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work.

Excessive speeding
However, this is not what the champion of the day might have thought. This case takes place on Monday, June 5, at RN21, which connects Tarbes and Lourdes. On that day, the weather was good, and gendarmes from the departmental road traffic safety squadron came out to check the speed. When suddenly a car comes into their field of vision at a very high speed. The radar then confirms a speed of 222 km/h, while the limit is shown at 110 km/h. A difference of 112 km/h, which leaves no chance to the driver who is being chased by the police, but he is not trying to escape.
Error of justification
The test for alcohol and drugs is negative, the driver still tried to explain his gesture to the gendarmes. And the reason, to put it mildly, is unusual, since the driver simply stated that he was in a hurry to find his girlfriend. So he will have to wait or ask to be picked up as his driver’s license was revoked on the spot. After administrative detention, his BMW 1 series car was seized. Not to mention the fine, which must also be steep for the driver…
