Speeding at 218 km/h on the A64… with a probationary license!
- Published on 19/04/2026 14:01
Two drivers aged 18 and 19 with provisional licenses were intercepted on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, going more than 100 km/h over the legal speed limit.
The two young individuals (fools) were caught on the A64 motorway in Limendous (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) while racing at 218 km/h (207 km/h recorded) instead of the 110 km/h allowed for new drivers.
The motorized unit of Artix abruptly ended their “Fast & Furious” style chase. The two vehicles, a Mini and a BMW, were immediately impounded.
Reminder of provisional license rules:
Young drivers have only 6 points on their license for the first two or three years. They must adhere to reduced speed limits: a maximum of 110 km/h on the motorway (instead of 130 km/h).
Possible penalties:
- Immediate loss of 6 points → automatic cancellation of the provisional license.
- License withdrawal and driving ban.
- Impoundment of both cars (costs borne by the drivers).
- Court summons for high-speed violation and endangerment of others’ lives: fine up to €1,500, possible judicial suspension or cancellation, and mandatory awareness training.
