Speeding can happen to anyone, but remember that it is obviously strictly against the law. However, there are some small exceptions, only for certain vehicles called “priority”. These include fire engines, police and some ambulances. But be careful as these professionals are not above the law and must follow certain basic rules. Because in order to have the right to drive faster than the limit, there must be a real emergency situation. And it needs to be seen, thanks to the use of a siren and a flashing light.

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

But this is not enough. Because for transportation to be urgent, there must still be a patient in the vehicle, at least as far as an ambulance is concerned. This may sound obvious, but it’s not obvious to everyone! This is evidenced by the story we are telling you today. This takes place in Andra last weekend. Gendarmes check the speed when they see an ambulance going too fast, but with flashing lights. This one is flashed at 170 km/h instead of 130 km/h.

Oh…

But the police are suspicious and intercept him. And the latter is quickly confirmed. Indeed, an ambulance does not transport even the smallest patient! The driver apparently wanted to trick the police into going fast without worrying, but ended up getting a speeding ticket, but not only that. Indeed, he also received a fine for having used his light signals without justification. The military also mentions this ambulances must strictly follow traffic rules“, except for certain exceptions.
