This Saturday, January 28, in the Gard, a “crazy driver” was flashed by the gendarmes at 270 km / h on the A9. Unfortunately, the police were unable to catch him at the time.
When he passed in front of the gendarmes at full speed, the driver of a German sedan panicked the counter of their radar. 270 km/h on a portion limited to 130!
Obviously, the motorway peloton set off in pursuit of the driver, but the Alpine A110 of the gendarmes could not face this public danger.
The excessively speeding driver therefore escaped the military in a few minutes, but the story did not end there. Three days later, this Tuesday, January 31, the driver in question presented himself to the motorway peloton of Gallargues.
Remorse or simple fear of being caught as a fugitive? It was not specified by the police. Either way, the man was taken into custody. before going to immediate appearance this Wednesday, February 1 before the judicial court of Nîmes as revealed by our colleagues from The Midi Dispatch.
Without a license, this “mad driver” therefore received a 12 months in prison for recidivism, aggravated refusal to comply, excessive speeding and non-payment of tolls, just that.
