The weekend of November 9 and 10, 2024 was deadly on the roads of Morbihan. A pregnant woman died in Brech, a pedestrian died after being knocked down in Pont-Scorff. In a post published Tuesday, November 12 on Facebook, the gendarmerie insists: “The road should no longer be synonymous with drama. »
A call for awareness
It also warns about behaviors: “Our action will not, however, be able to prevent tragedies if real and profound awareness is not created in the minds of all drivers. » As an example, she indicates that, on Saturday, early in the afternoon, a 24-year-old motorcyclist, on a Suzuki 600 GSXR, was checked by the departmental road safety squadron (the Pontivy motorized brigade) , on the RD 767 in Évellys at a speed of 231 km/h on a road limited to 110 km/h. Police were carrying out a speed check when they spotted the motorcyclist. Caught, the latter allowed himself to be controlled without difficulty. The biker's license was revoked, and his car was impounded. He will answer for these facts in court.
The police, who remind us that they control “with the sole objective of allowing everyone to circulate peacefully”, are sorry: “The results of our checks are pathetic: blood alcohol level, driving under drugs, speeding, lack of insurance, driving without a license, refusal to comply…”
