Flashed at 122 km / h instead of 70, this bus driver wastes a lot of time on his 55 passengers

Visibly in a hurry, this Spanish bus was caught speeding by the gendarmes of Ain. In this descent of the A40 motorway, the police actually flashed the bus at 122 km / h.

However, in this zone, heavy goods vehicles are limited to 70 km/h. It is therefore not much to play for, but the bus driver was indeed in great excess of speed for 2 km / h.

Worse still, the bus in question was carrying 55 passengers on board, most of them from Latin America, as reported by our colleagues from Progress.

A few hours late

Obviously, the gendarmes did not let the bus driver get away with it as if nothing had happened. They took away his driver’s license on the spot and the 55 passengers had to wait for a second driver to take over.

With this incident, all these little people arrived at their destination a few hours late. You just have to thank this driver for that.
