They were checked this Saturday, January 8 in Gan by the gendarmes. The youngest Béarnais had his license for eight days
Lhe two brothers were stopped dead in their tracks. Saturday January 8, 2022, around 9.45 a.m., they were checked in Gan aboard their Renault Megane which followed each other on the RN 134 in the direction Oloron-Pau.
Instead of 80 km / hour authorized in view of the weather conditions and their profiles, their speed was raised to 134 and 137 km / hour by the motorized brigades of Pau and Oloron-Sainte-Marie. This is what indicated, this Sunday morning, in a press release, Captain Hardouin, commander of the Departmental Road Safety Squadron of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
On probationary license
The two brothers who live in Arette have admitted to “racing”. Both 18 and 20 years old were also on probationary driving licenses. The youngest had his pink paper for only eight days, December 30, 2021.
“The two driving licenses were the subject of an immediate measure of retention and the prefect will take an order suspending the driving license. A loss of 6 points will be pronounced against the youngest who will see his driver’s license canceled for zero point balance. A judicial sanction will soon be pronounced, ”concludes Captain Hardouin.
Several great speeding violations have been noted by the gendarmes in recent weeks on the RN 134. A Jurançonnais was flashed at 170 km / hour on December 22. The fifty-something who was driving a BMW had his driving license withdrawn on the spot. His vehicle was impounded.
On December 24, a Charentais was checked at 155 km / h. The father had his three children on board and was bringing them back to his home when he was intercepted. This 39-year-old bus driver behind the wheel of a Toyota Verso was “used to speeding offenses”, then indicated the gendarmes.
