Large speeding tickets are on the rise on Languedoc roads since the start of containment decreed to curb the epidemic of coronavirus. Gendarmes and police multiply prevention messages, warnings and controls. Which, obviously, is not yet sufficient.
On May 1, the gendarmerie du Gard thus noted fifteen major speeding tickets (greater than 50 km / h compared to the authorized speed), "which is unprecedented and raises questions", question the soldiers. “Violations are noted both on the secondary network and on the highway. "
Ferrari owner found, car seized
Among the most important speeds, a Ferrari traveling at 128 km / h instead of 50 km / h was checked at Roquemaure. The gendarmes could not intercept him instantly, but after research, found the owner. "He was notified of a 6-month administrative suspension of his driving license, a summons to court by a judicial police officer for the month of September at the Nîmes court of justice. The "racing car" was seized on parquet directives. "
But the record was recorded in the Pyrénées-Orientales. A biker was checked on a departmental road limited to 80 km / h between Le Boulou and Argelès-sur-Mer at 226 km / h. "He was the subject of an immediate retention of his driving license. An administrative impoundment targeted the vehicle ”, specify the soldiers.
