The story takes place on a Sunday afternoon, but it almost felt like an action film. At 243 km/h, more than double the authorized speed, a driver was caught by radar on the A304.
The cut didn’t cut…
“Just a little test to see what my BMW has in it,” he seems to have said to himself. Except that the scenario quickly changed. The Rapid Intervention Team of the gendarmes intercepted the driver, and his little test quickly took a much less pleasant turn: a fine, a car impounded, and a suspended license.
License suspended, test failed
The gendarmes, who do not lack humor, clarified on their Facebook page that it was not Batman this time (a nod to another recent media arrest), but a driver in a hurry to test the limits of your car. Result ? Driving at 243 km/h and having his license withdrawn for six months. The speed can be impressive, but the sanction is quite different: an appointment at the Charleville-Mézières judicial court, and a new lesson on the limits of the road.
To summarize
This Sunday, November 24, on the A304 motorway, the driver of a BMW wanted to play racing driver… but he found the police faster than him. At 243 km/h, it was not the road he was testing, but his nerves in the face of the intervention of the authorities.
