When we were younger, we probably all dreamed of being able borrow mom’s or dad’s car go on an excursion. And then we quickly told ourselves that this was a bad idea, not to mention that it was strictly prohibited. So we often just got behind the wheel for fun. The luckiest were able to learn to drive with their parents, in a deserted parking lot or in an industrial area a little out of the way. Until the day we finally got our driver’s licenses and could fly on our own.

A big overshoot

But everyone clearly lacks the patience to wait for the majority to finally get behind the wheel. This is what the gendarmes in Seriz’s motorized platoon, in the department of Des Sèvres. The latter are indeed engaged in classic speed checks on the road, more precisely on the national road 249, which connects Cholet and Bressuir. Suddenly, around 3:03 p.m. this Sunday, May 15, they see a car driving at a very high speed. And it is not for nothing that the radar shows a speed of 142 km/h, not 110. They stop the car very quickly.

A delicate situation

And what was their surprise when they found themselves in the driver’s seat young woman 17 years old, who actually borrowed his father’s car. Having been accompanied for two days, she decided to go on a trip with a friend in the passenger seat. The teenager was also checked blood alcohol content of 0.44 grams and also tested positive for drugs. Soon she must answer for her actions in court and risks receiving a very serious punishment, including a ban on handing over her driver’s license.
