195 km/h on the highway in a Peugeot 308, the driver is no match for the gendarmerie Alpine

The weekend of April 20 – 21 was a busy one for the army attached to the department of Charentais. Within two days, they fined drivers for speeding. And three “cases” were worth considering in a post published this Wednesday, April 24 on their Facebook page.

The young driver was found with drugs

Let’s start with the first sample. This is a driver classified as a young driver. It was controlled at a speed of 137 km/h on the road reduced to 80 km/h. That is 57 km/h more than the authorized one. And thus the near loss of six points on your driving licence. But he only has six points on his probationary driver’s license. Which should result in the revocation of his right to drive.

195 km / h in Mercedes

The second case reported by the military: another high-speed incident, this time on the highway with a driver behind the wheel of a Mercedes. This was limited to 191 km/h while the maximum authorized speed was 110 km/h on this section. That’s 81 km/h over the speed limit.

As was the case with the first driver, the Mercedes was sent to the pound and the driver’s license was withdrawn pending a court decision which will cost him 6 points on his driver’s license as well as a large fine (up to €1,500). Other restrictions may also be imposed. Such as a license suspension for several months or the obligation to follow a road safety awareness course.

Very close to 200 km / h in Peugeot 308

Third and final case: Peugeot 308 controlled at 195 km/h. The French compact sedan was tested on the same axis as Mercedes. Therefore, the speed was reduced to 110 km / h. And to stop him – as in the previous case – the gendarmerie released their deadly weapon to stop him: their Alpine A110!

So the driver was 85 km/h over the limit. So in the case of excessive speed. Which means that he has to lose 6 points on his driving license (which is currently suspended), that his car is impounded and that a heavy fine hangs in his face (up to 1500€) all as well as the suspension of his license. several months.
