Dressed in a Tractor Pulling sweatshirt and a cap, the forty-year-old timidly walks up to the bar of the Argentan court (Orne) Monday November 4, 2024. What makes him appear? Having been checked by the gendarmes on a Sunday in July, in Domfront-en-Poiraie, while driving his car, even though he has not had his license for two years. A license canceled due to alcohol.
“What were you doing that Sunday? » asks the judge. “I was going to see a friend on the other side of town. » And the vehicle was not insured. “If you hurt someone like this, you would spend your life paying…” warns the magistrate.
The 43-year-old defendant assures that he will retake his license. “For the moment, I haven’t managed to put any money aside,” he defends himself. What exasperates the court: “Single, without children and with a monthly salary of €1,700? It should be possible to save money, right? How are you getting to work? » On foot.
The floor: “It seems like he feels stronger than anything”
The prosecution said it was stunned: “In the past, Mister has driven on several occasions with alcohol in his blood. There, he drives without a license, in an uninsured vehicle, and without technical inspection… It seems that he feels stronger than anything! » At the helm, the Domfrontais is not doing well. He readily accepts the proposed sentence: 90 day fines of €6 (i.e. €540), plus €150 for lack of technical inspection. And the license? “I'll iron it as soon as possible, that's for sure!” » “It’s very good, concludes the magistrate. Do what is necessary so that we never see each other again…”
