Family fun

A British mother and daughter both lost their driving licences after French police decided the pair were rather too enthusastic about driving at high speeds.

A British mother and daughter both lost their driving licences after French police decided the pair were rather too enthusastic about driving at high speeds. The French police were monitoring traffic along a stretch of the A7 Autoroute when two cars roared past at 180km/h. One car, a Ferarri 599 GTB was driven by the mother while the other car, an Aston Martin, was driven by the daughter. Both women had their licenses taken away immediately by traffic officers and the speed-crazed pair were also given on-the-spot fines. It was then left to the father and son to drive the cars away and complete the family trip to Monaco, presumably with the men keeping watchful eyes on speed.

Also in France, an illegal road race involving up to 10 performance cars caused police to take quick action. A pedestrian was hurt while the cars were being driven at speed through one city and a British driver was caught and charged. The offence is a serious one including a driving ban, a heavy fine and a prison sentence of up to three years.
