No, just because the roads are empty due to the confinement does not mean they should be confused with rally tracks. The warning was launched this Wednesday by the gendarmes of Gers on their Facebook page.

The soldiers say that they suddenly intercepted two cars on Tuesday. One, in the early morning, in the town of Pujaudran. Its 25-year-old driver was checked at 181 km / h while the authorized speed is 110 km / h. His license was immediately confiscated and his car sent to the pound.

Same cause, same effects the same afternoon in Cologne, where a thirty-something felt wings grow, rushing at 148 km / h on a road limited to 80 km / h.

"In this period of travel restriction, the Highway Code remains the same! Excessive speeds worsen the consequences of accidents, "said the Gers gendarmes in conclusion.
