He did not hesitate to take all the risks. On Wednesday December 28, 2022, the gendarmes of Haute-Garonne announced that they had arrested, “a few days ago”, a driver who was raging in low wallnear Toulouse.
Drifting session in front of the gendarmes
The scene takes place in the middle of the night, at a roundabout opposite the Mercedes dealership. There, it’s a German car from another big brand that tumbles. At the wheel, the pilot performs a series of drifts.
As you can imagine, the individual is not really discreet… Well despite himself, he attracts a patrol of the Muret Motorized Platoon who passed through the area. Instantly, the gendarmes use their sound and light warning devices to control the vehicle. The driver pretends not to understand and flees at high speed.
“When was the person concerned able to take our blue flashing light for encouragement? », the soldiers still wonder about their Facebook.
Five months firm
A chase then begins. The individual breaks the speed limits and exceeds the 160km/h. The gendarmes still managed to follow the fugitive. Enough to contradict him to stop safely.
After his arrest, the “drifteur” was placed in police custody before being brought before the magistrates. He got hit with three months suspended sentence for the facts of urban rodeo, accompanied by five months in prison for refusing to comply.
The individual was also ordered to wear an electronic bracelet. His license was also revoked for six months. His German car is the subject of an administrative immobilization and a judicial seizure… with a view to possible destruction. Finished playing!
