New automatic speed camera bug

A motorcycle in hibernation in the Charolais has just been flashed on the Paris ring road … A new blunder of the automatic radars which makes the holder of the gray card laugh very moderately, presumed guilty !

After a Sarthe tractor flashed at 120 km / h on the Paris ring road at the end of 2003, when its owner had never set foot in the capital, it is now a motorcycle in hibernation in a garage in Saône-et- Loire which would have been flashed on the periphery while its owner has not left Villeurbanne !

A presumption of guilt which makes Guy Metenier laugh moderately, holder of the gray card, who receives a withdrawal of points and a fine of 90 € for having driven at 95 instead of 80 Saturday, February 21 in the early morning (5:24 a.m. ) … Especially since at the time of the speeding, the Yamaha of the offense was peacefully stored for the winter in the garage of a friend in Saône-et-Loire! To assess the seriousness of the facts, let us remind our country friends that the ring road is a kind of motorway with two 3 or 4 lanes, which circles Paris for 35 km and which is constantly congested except in the middle of the night. When traffic allows, it is obviously safe to drive at 95 km / h..

To initiate an administrative procedure with the Automated Center for the Observation of Infractions based in Lille (good luck!), Guy must first, as the alleged culprit, record the amount of the fine … Which inspires our colleague from the Journal de Saône-et-Loire, which relates the affair, this philosophical reflection: "is it better to condemn an ​​innocent person or to exonerate a guilty party, when it comes to a minimal offense?" To your copies…

Also note this very fine ticket received by a Nice Moto-Net reader, who will have to pay 135 € (reduced to 90 if he pays within 7 days) for a speeding limit retained of … 1 km / h !

To see this sinister blooper of automatic radars which does not stop growing, one would almost come to regret the good old couple of mustached pandores, with their Mesta "barbecue" vaguely hidden behind a hedge of flowering shrubs … at least had roughly working brains !
