At more than 100 km/h in the city center, the mad race of an unlicensed driver comes to an end

It was 7 a.m. in Rouen when the police spotted a car speeding through the streets normally limited to 50 km/h.

Extreme speed in the city

The speedometer shows 101 km/h, an excess which could have had dramatic consequences. Neither the calm of the streets at this time nor the absence of traffic excuse such risk-taking. Quickly, a motorcycle patrol chased the vehicle to intercept it.

A track record of offenses

Behind the wheel, the officers discovered a 46-year-old woman, whose offenses were not limited to speed. The driver was driving without a license, canceled in 2009, and in an uninsured vehicle. Her car was immediately impounded and the driver presented to a judicial police officer during the day.

The sanctions awaiting him are commensurate with his offenses: a fine of up to €15,000 for driving without a license, €3,750 for lack of insurance, and potentially a prolonged ban on re-testing his license. A stern reminder of the legal and human risks of such irresponsible behavior.
