April was particularly responsible for the Valais police. Last Saturday, in Sion, a 41 -year -old Portuguese motorist was checked at 124 km/h instead of 50, under the influence of alcohol.
An excess speed avalanche in Valais
His license was removed and his vehicle seized. A week earlier, in Orsières, an 18 -year -old Swiss, holder of the license for barely a month, was flashed at 131 km/h on a road limited to 50 km/h. His license was immediately confiscated.
Other worrying records complete this assessment: in Simplon, an Italian was rolling at 183 km/h on a portion limited to 80 km/h. In Crans-Montana, two motorists were taken at 73 and 83 km/h in an area 30. Finally, on the road to Grand-Saint-Bernard, a 58-year-old Swiss driver spun at 146 km/h instead of the 80 authorized.
Heavy sanctions to come
All the pinned drivers were denounced in the road traffic service and the public prosecutor. They face sentences of up to four years in prison and at least two years of license withdrawal. The police recall that these behaviors are particularly dangerous, not only for drivers, but also for other road users. With the approach of sunny days, the police announce a strengthening of controls.
