Instead of following the Canal du Midi, more bucolic but poorly lit at night, he preferred to take a more straight path.
About ten days ago, in the middle of the night, the Haute-Garonne gendarmes received a call informing them of the presence of a cyclist on the A61 motorway, in the town of Ramonville, at the gates of Toulouse.
On their arrival there, shortly before 5 a.m., the members of the road safety squadron noticed that the patrollers of Vinci had put the man on the Toulouse / Narbonne axis to safety, which confused the gang of emergency stop with a cycle path to get home.
It must be said that the driver of the two-wheeler comes out of a drunken evening, which could have undermined his orientation skills.
Subject to an alcohol screening, the gendarmes noted a rate of 0.67 mg / l of alcohol by exhaled air, or 1.34 g per liter of blood.
That is well above the maximum rate of 0.5 g allowed, whether you are a motorist or a cyclist.
After receiving a fine, the reckless man was escorted home to safety.
