F. Brenon / 20Minutes
He was probably very proud of his car.
A 27-year-old motorist paid the price, Sunday afternoon, of a roadside check operation carried out by the motorized peloton of Saint-Herblain, on the D723, near Mauves-sur-Loire, to the east from Nantes.
The young man was at the wheel of a powerful 290 HP Seat Leon Cupra which he had just bought two days earlier.
On the radar of the police, it flashed at 164 km / h (finally retained 155) instead of the maximum authorized 80 km / h.
Or a very great speeding of 75 km / h.
The gendarmerie likes this model
The offender explained that he wanted to test his new car with friends.
On the instructions of the prosecution, the vehicle was placed in judicial immobilization.
The driver is summoned by the court for April 2021.
For the anecdote, the national gendarmerie has just ordered this same model of car to complete the fleet of its rapid intervention brigades.
