The gendarmes of Puy-de-Dôme were confronted with a surprising situation this weekend.
As reported by France 3 Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, the soldiers of the motorized platoon of Bromont-Lamothe intercepted a speeding driver on the D942 on Friday.
It was traveling at 144 km / h instead of the 80 km / h authorized on this track.
His driving license was therefore withdrawn by the police.
But to come and retrieve it, the offender called on a relative who was also found to be in violation.
This driver had in fact a level of 0.43 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled air during his alcohol test.
He was therefore unable to take the wheel.
Several license withdrawals
The gendarmes carried out speed checks throughout the weekend in the department, specify our colleagues.
They thus noted 18 motorists in violation in the space of three hours, Friday on the D906.
Two motorists had their licenses withdrawn, one for excessive excess, the other for drug use.
Two other motorists had to leave their driving licenses with the military on Saturday and Sunday.
The first was traveling at 160 km / h instead of 90 on the A75, with his Porsche Cayenne.
The second was flashed with a BMW at 175 km / h instead of 90, at Pont-de-Château.
The two vehicles were the subject of a judicial immobilization.
