A driver would not have hesitated to take a maximum of risks and freedoms with the Highway Code to escape a gendarmerie check on Monday evening in Lacoste (Vaucluse).
The soldiers of the proximity brigade of Bonnieux (Vaucluse) ended up stopping the motorist in his car after leaving the road, says
Le Dauphiné Libéré
.
The man is accused of having previously driven in the wrong direction and at times reached a speed of 150 km / h where it is forbidden to drive above 80 km / h.
The suspect repeatedly passed close to colliding with other motorists.
He ended his mad escape by losing control of his vehicle whose race finally stopped in a field.
By inspecting the passenger compartment, the gendarmes discovered that the driver was in possession of narcotic substances.
Towards a possible confiscation of the vehicle
An audit also found that he had already been in trouble with the law.
The car was seized by the police.
It is subsequently likely to be permanently removed from its owner.
He will subsequently appear in court for "excessive speed", "driving under narcotics", "use of narcotics", "refusal to comply" and "endangering the life of others".
