Speeding, we’ve all done it, sometimes more or not voluntarily. But in most cases these are small excesses without serious consequences. It also prompted the government to announce the withdrawal of points for speeding by less than 5 km/h. On the other hand, he now wants zero tolerance for large overshoots, more than 50 km/h above the limit. But in any case, driving too fast is dangerous both for your driving license and for other road users. This forces the police to be strict, regardless of the situation.

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

Funny business
And this also applies to professionals, as the story we are telling you today proves. It happened on July 10 in the Dordogne, or rather in the town of Sorges, on the N21 national highway. On this day, as often, the gendarmes arrange quite classic road checks. Suddenly, the Peugeot 508 rolls over somewhere at full speed flashed at 149 km/h, instead of 80 km/h. Not one by one, not two at a time, the soldiers get on a motorcycle to intercept the driver a few kilometers away. The driver does not have the profile of a traffic offender, but is actually a paramedic on duty.
Severe punishment
He then explains that he is late to pick up the patient, which is difficult to convince the police. And the latter are not for laughing or showing tolerance. They decide to strictly enforce the law and immediately revoke the driver’s license from the professional. A colleague picked up the car. It is not known whether there was also a fine, but there certainly was, and this one must have been salty. The pedestrian driver will now have to look for another occupation…
