There are two types of young drivers. Those who are not yet very sure and who play the caution card. They are the ones who sometimes have to sound the horn, because they drive at a speed of 30 in a 50 km/h zone, “just in case.” And there are others, those who grow wings and who confuse the road with a circle. And, unfortunately, there are a lot of them, despite the increasing number of speed cameras on the sides of our roads. If speeding is clearly very dangerous, it is even more so as you drive faster and faster. Especially if you have no driving experience yet.

A big overshoot
This is exactly the case of our main character, who, we hope, has learned his lesson well. But what really happened? The case takes place on June 3, a Saturday like any other. Then the gendarmes check the speed on the edge of the departmental road RD46 near the town of Biscarros. Suddenly they see a Renault Clio RS overturning at full speed. And it is so for a reason flashed instantly at 173 km/h, with a maintained speed of 164 km/h. All on the road with a limit of 80 km/h. Neither one, nor the other, the police intercepts a slightly too bold driver.
A heavy sentence
At the age of only 21, the pilot was arrested, and problems began for him. Indeed, the soldiers decide to take away his driver’s license on the spot, and send the car to the checkpoint. If it was not specified, it should also get very a large fine for speeding more than 50 km/h above the speed limit. The gendarmes use the opportunity to remind people about the dangers of excessive speed, which is responsible for 27% of road deaths, but is also an aggravating factor in road accidents. It remains to be seen if our driver has learned his lesson…
