This carefree youth is not beautiful, but above all it is dangerous. Because if this young man of 21 years old has not killed anyone with his urban rodeos, this is unfortunately not always the case.
videos
On board his powerful 300 HP Golf, a young Frenchman from the north of France filmed himself driving at more than 250 km/h, even 280 km/h, on the roads of the Northern region and published his videos on the social networks, as revealed by La Voix du Nord.
As a temporary worker, he treated himself to a Golf with a 300 horsepower engine. The problem is that when he gets behind the wheel, his foot is heavy. Alerted to these videos “ driving at extremely high speed » on the roads of Pas-de-Calais and the North, particularly in Estaires, the Laventie gendarmes managed to identify the man posting these videos. And by exploiting his phone, they found fifty-eight videos filmed since September 2022. Fortunately without ever causing an accident but also without ever being arrested.
At the end of his police custody, Lestrémois was referred and presented for immediate appearance at the Béthune court on Wednesday. Unknown to the justice system, he kept a low profile: “ I realize that I took a lot of risks and that I was dangerous “. It’s nothing to say, insists the prosecutor: “ There is a real danger with someone who admits to entering urban areas at 250 km/h and driving on the motorway at more than 280! » A video showing him at 284 km/h was reportedly found…
“A passion for his car”
If he struggles to explain, the Lestrémois explains that he posted the videos on the networks just for him, “ not to promote this », admitting to sometimes filming the phone in his hand when he is driving at these crazy speeds. The man was remanded in custody and his car was seized. Bute Bertrand, evoking “ his passion for his car “, pleaded for the placement under judicial supervision of a young person with no history, who works, and for whom “ the biggest punishment will be not being able to drive anymore “.
His trial is set for July 17.
