She was sharply turned on by the constabulary.
In these times when the slightest spark can cause a disaster, the gendarmes of the Gard did not hesitate to mobilize several patrols to intercept a thirty-year-old woman who had just negligently thrown her lit cigarette end out of her car window.
It was the motorist who was following her on Saturday afternoon on a secondary road between Gaujac and Remoulins who took it upon himself to report the reckless smoker to the authorities.
135 euro fine
In a department very affected by the fires, the soldiers did not finish.
They positioned themselves at various points on the designated axis and waited for the vehicle described.
The driver immediately admitted her negligence.
She not only received a fine of 135 euros but also received what the gendarmes call "a firm prevention message [which] allowed her to become aware of her irresponsible gesture and the consequences that such behavior can engender”.
Smokers, take it for granted.
