According to French TV TF1, no less that seven Britons were pulled over and given tickets on the same stretch of motorway in Normandy, at the weekend.
All were clocked at over 190 km/h, but one driving an Audi R8 broke the speed radar after exceeding 250 km/h. When motorcycle cops from the town of Courbépine finally caught up with him, it was revealed that the Audi R8 was a company car, belonging to a business registered in England. The vehicle was impounded on orders from the prosecutor at Evreux, the driver’s license was confiscated, and he was immediately banned from driving on all French roads. In addition, the British speedster faces a €1,500 fine.
