Was he in a hurry to get home?

Or maybe he thought he was on a racetrack.

On Monday afternoon, a motorist was forced to stop his Porsche Boxster in the pits when the gendarmes checked his vehicle at a speed more than twice the limit.

While traveling on a departmental road limited to 80 km / h, near Argentré-du-Plessis, near Vitré, this motorist was intercepted by the Departmental Road Safety Squadron (EDSR) of Ille-et -Ugly.

Result of the device: 211 km / h.

"The sad record of Easter Monday", according to the gendarmes.

The motorist was fined and saw his license immediately withdrawn.

He will be summoned to court to answer for his actions.

His Porsche was not seized, reports France Bleu.
