A motorist was intercepted by the gendarmes of the motorway platoon responsible for monitoring the A10, on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday.

The driver was "visibly in a hurry" since he was traveling at 248 km / h instead of the authorized 130, says the Loiret gendarmerie, on Facebook.

He was driving a Mini sport model, specifies

In addition to this significant speeding, the soldiers noted on the vehicle the presence of "blue penetration lights", namely a flashing light.

Equipment exclusively reserved for law enforcement or emergency response vehicles.

During his hearing, the motorist explained that he used this beacon "because he was afraid of trucks", write the gendarmes on Facebook.

His driver's license was immediately revoked.

His car and flashing light were seized by the soldiers.

The driver was also fined 750 euros for using prohibited equipment and 1,500 euros for speeding.

He will be summoned to court shortly.
