We all speed from time to time. But in most cases, the gap between our pace and the limit is only a few km/h, which is neither a serious danger nor a major violation. Even if of course, it is still important to respect the rules in force on the road to avoid sanctions. This does not prevent some from ignoring these prohibitions and wanting to play pilots, even at their own risk endanger the lives of others. This is exactly the case of the driver we’re going to talk about today, who doesn’t seem to have heard of speed cameras.

Reflections on the project to no longer deduct points from the driver’s license of drivers guilty of minor speeding continue! https://t.co/w2bQX7OYx4

A big overshoot

The action again takes place in the Paris area, more precisely in the Seine and Marne. On March 28, motorized rifle platoons of the gendarmerie conduct routine inspections on the roads. Everything is quite calm, as it often happens. Except that at one point, the BMW 4 Series crashes at full speed. And for good reason, this one is circulating at a very high rate. The forces of order jump up Renault Megane RS and chase him down before the driver is finally caught. The latter then drove at a speed of 222 km/h on the A6 highway with a limit of 110 km/h.

Heavy fine

But that’s not all, because the young man is only 18 years old “borrowed” the car from his father, who should have been delighted to have it impounded for a week. The offender saw his own driver’s license was revoked at least six months. Not to mention the hefty fine he received as well, and the punishment that must also have been waiting for him at home when he returned. At least we hope so…
