Thursday October 24, 2024, in the morning, on the D820 departmental road, the Tarn-et-Garonne gendarmes intercepted a driver at the wheel of a Porsche traveling at a speed of 134 km/h in the middle of a built-up area, where the authorized limit is 50 km/h. A serious offense, for which the police did not hesitate to apply the maximum sanctions provided for by law.
Immediate withdrawal of license and seizure of vehicle
Faced with this excessive speed, the police immediately removed the driver's driving license. The driver, who will not be able to get behind the wheel again for eight months, also had his Porsche confiscated. A dissuasive and radical measure, intended to prevent any recurrence, and to recall the zero tolerance of the authorities in the face of such dangerous behavior.
An upcoming appearance before the Montauban court
In addition to administrative sanctions, the offender will have to answer for his act before the courts. He will soon be summoned before the Montauban judicial court, where he could face additional sanctions, including a substantial fine.
The fight against speeding, a priority for the authorities
The Tarn-et-Garonne gendarmerie reminds that the fight against speeding in urban areas is a priority. These irresponsible behaviors represent a direct threat to the safety of residents and other road users.
