Not very discreet this young driver, domiciled in Talensac, west of Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine). This Saturday, August 20, around 5:30 p.m., he was traveling in Mordelles, several kilometers from his home, riding a motocross bike. Avenue du Maréchal-Leclerc, in the city center, he accelerated when he saw that a traffic light was about to turn red. With a very loud exhaust, it slalomed between slowing vehicles.
This rodeo did not go unnoticed, especially since the young driver passed just in front of the gendarmerie brigade where the speed is limited to 50 km/h. The soldiers, alerted by the noise, immediately left. And they saw the motocross turn around, and take the avenue in the other direction for a second pass in front of the brigade!
The device is confiscated
The minor was intercepted. Several offenses were held concerning the state of the motorcycle which had no rear light, turn signal and an unbridled engine. The machine was confiscated with regard to the offense of driving a motorized land vehicle in conditions that compromise the safety of road users or disturb the public peace
.
In recent weeks, law enforcement intensify the fight against urban rodeos by increasing the number of controls after several serious accidents that have occurred in the territory.
