The gendarmes of the departmental road safety squadron (EDSR) of the Ardennes had quite a surprise this Thursday, October 31, 2024 when they checked a Porsche speeding on the A34. “We were present on the highway between 15 hours and 7 p.m., with our motorcycles, the Alpine and an operator to measure »relates Captain Denis Rufin, commander of the EDSR of the Ardennes.
Around 5 p.m., a vehicle was flashed at 203 km/h instead of 130 at Châtelet-sur-Sormonne. “We took him off the highway, then we asked the driver to prove his identity”continues Captain Rufin. Two people, a couple, were in the Porsche, both dressed in black.
Batman finds himself without a license and Batmobile
“The test went very well. Both were Dutch nationals. The driver admitted that he was driving too fast. » The couple was going to a Halloween costume party and each took off his mask. Batman and Catwoman thus found themselves without a Batmobile. They posed, without rancor, in front of the police.
Despite everything, they had to pay 750 euros for deposit and the Batmobile headed to the pound. The Dutch couple got into the tow truck which accompanied them to Charleville-Mézières, where they were able to find a new means of transport. Batman saw himself withdraw your license, at least for 72 hours.
We do not have the authority to ban Batman from driving in his country
The superhero risks a fine of up to 1,500 euros, the confiscation of the Batmobile and the suspension of his license for a period of three years. But this will only apply in France. “We do not have the authority to ban Batman from driving in his country”laughs Denis Rufin, the commander of the EDSR of the Ardennes.
