He was testing “the performance of his car”: flashed at 243km/h behind the wheel of a BMW on a motorway in the Ardennes

Almost 100 km/h not too much. While driving too fast on the A304 motorway, in the Ardennes, a motorist driving a powerful BMW was arrested by the police this Sunday, November 24. The latter explain on their Facebook page that the man was driving at 243 km/h instead of the authorized 130…

According to the military, who take the opportunity to recall the recent episode of a driver dressed as Batman for Halloween and driven at 200 km/h on a road in the same department of the Ardennes, the man at the wheel of this powerful coupe BMW simply wanted to “test the performance of its car”.

As is customary in the event of such a serious violation of the authorized speed, the driver saw his vehicle seized and sent to the pound. His driving license was also administratively suspended for a period of six months. The man will then be summoned before the Charleville-Mézières judicial court “at a later date”, the gendarmes further specify.

And the latter point out: “When it comes to speed, there is no debate: whatever the type, brand or performance of the vehicle, the rule is the same for everyone, on the motorway it is 130 km /h maximum. »
