Control operation carried out by the gendarmerie, here on a road from Bas-Rhin. - G. VARELA / 20 MINUTES

A priori, the debate on the speed limit to 80 km / h on departmental roads has completely escaped this biker. Friday, while they were on the departmental 943 for a speed control operation at the level of the town of Armentieux, the Gers gendarmes saw a motorcycle thrown into the viewfinder of their radar.

The soldiers of the Piacenza brigade registered the motorcycle at 209 km / h. They immediately arrested the 26-year-old young man and retained the speed of 198 km / h, or 118 km / h above the maximum authorized limit.

The pilot's license was withdrawn, and his machine was confiscated. He was summoned to court in Auch where he will have to explain next April why he confused the departmental road with a circuit track.
