During the night of Thursday around 1:30 am, in the Montreal region, the police of the Sûreté du Québec intercepted a vehicle for several offenses in the road safety code, including a great speeding, on route 136.
The driver, who was traveling at a speed of 175 km/h in an area of 70 km/h, would also have committed an action likely to jeopardize life, crossed an applied brand on the road and circulated without having lit the headlights and lights, said the Sûreté du Québec.
The driver, an elderly man in their thirties, received several reports of an offense totaling $ 3508 and accompanied by 31 points of incapacity.
The Sûreté du Québec added that during the interception, the agents arrested the driver for having the ability to drive weakened by alcohol. He blew more than double the limit permitted by law.
His driving license was seized for a period of 90 days. His vehicle was also seized for a 30 -day period.
The Sûreté du Québec recalls that speed is one of the first causes of fatal collisions to occur on the roads of Quebec.
