The Breton gendarmes had warned. On the occasion of the Ascension weekend, road checks were going to be reinforced. To ensure that motorists respected the 100 km zone imposed by the government to fight the coronavirus epidemic. But also to ensure that the Highway Code had not been forgotten by confined France. Checks conducted Thursday morning in Finistère revealed some dangerous behavior.
Radar displayed 190 km / h
Around 11 am Thursday, the gendarmes of the Saint-Thégonnec Loc-Éguiner (Finistère) motorized platoon thus intercepted a driver who was traveling much too fast.
Controlled at 190 km / h on the D785, between Plounéour-Ménez and Pleyber-Christ, the rider happily exceeded the 80 km / h authorized. His two-wheeler was immediately seized and the man had to surrender his driver's license.
Large speeding tickets on the rise
Since the start of the coronavirus epidemic, the number of accidents has dropped sharply in France and the number of fatalities fell by 55% in April. But the gendarmes noted a slackening of behavior, in particular on speed on the roads, less frequented because of confinement.
