Speeding has always happened, and someone who has never done it is the first to throw a stone at me. However, in recent years we still see a real resurgence of large excesses. Those who exceed the limit by 50 km/h constitute a genuine offense and are subject to a very severe fine. Starting with withdrawal of six points as well as a large fine. But it can also lead to the suspension of the driver’s license, as well as other additional penalties, such as a complete ban on driving for five years.

Users who have to deal with the competition, others quickly paid to avoid a fixed penalty. We have to cancel all this quickly‼️@Prefect17 ???? pic.twitter.com/yozl0GBWwW

A big overshoot

But that doesn’t stop some riders from trying anyway. But sometimes it would be better for them to refrain. This is exactly the case of this driver who decided to break the law and probably regretted it very much. It’s happening in Bayonne this Saturday night. THE CRS of the zonal motorcycle unit were then checking the speed when at around 21:35 they intercepted a car traveling at a speed of more than 80 km/h on a road with a 30 km/h limit. Or speeding over 40 km/h, punishable by a a fixed fine of 135 euros and the removal of four points on the driver’s license.

Numerous offenses

But that’s not all. Because the 50-year-old driver also tested positive for drugs, he was taken into custody. His vehicle was impounded. According to the police, this type of offense is becoming more and more common, and the leader of the CRS biker squad explains that he noted “ AND relaxation of behavior some road users who no longer pay attention to safety rules“.
