They did not go unnoticed! Early in the morning of January 1, 2025, for New Year's Eve, the men of the Senlis motorway platoon, with the support of the dog investigation group, tracked down dangerous behavior while driving. They carried out a vast alcohol operation on the A1 motorwayas revealed by the Oise gendarmerie on its social networks.

This highway, linking Paris to Lille, is one of the busiest in Europe.

The soldiers therefore had a sense of the wind by positioning themselves at the toll station of Bonsecours in Senlis (Oise). All they had to do was wait for the possibly drunk motorists who were returning from their New Year's Eve. The presence of a dog and its master allowed them to better search for narcotics, even weapons or bank notes present in vehicles.

40 vehicles checked

The results of this presence in any case turned out to be particularly fruitful, since in the space of a few hours, they checked less than 40 vehicles. Of these forty drivers, half were in violationwhether for driving under alcohol, drugs or other dangerous behavior.

“Drivers found to be under the influence of alcohol or under drugs had their licenses immediately withheld,” reveal the gendarmes.

Some of these vehicles headed directly to the poundwhere they will stay for 7 days. A very bad way to start the year for their drivers, who will have to pay a 5th class fine, but a badly needed one, no doubt, when we know that there has been 32 killed on the roads of Oise last year.
