On Sunday March 26, at 8:30 a.m., the Senlis Motorway peloton is speeding on the A1 motorway between Compiegne and Paris. A Porsche flashes by at 230 km/h instead of the authorized 130 km/h. Faced with such excesses, the gendarmes immediately intercept the driver, flash their lights and decide to give chase.
They join only twenty kilometers away, blocked at the Samant toll gate. Because it’s actually a driver coming straight from Belgium. She begins to explain that her payment methods aren’t working, so she can’t pass the toll.
When the gendarmes asked her why she was driving so fast, she replied that it was because she had no gas, so she needed to find a station quickly, explaining to the gendarmes that their Facebook page was tagged with “.SudInfo ».
His driver’s license was confiscated, his Porsche was confiscated and he was fined 750 euros on the spot. One of his passengers had a joint that cost him 150 euros.
