He was driving along the Reggio Emilia ring road, probably imagining himself in a circuit. He raced along the road at a speed of 217km/h.
I was running along the ring road at a speed of 217 km/h. A reckless driver from Reggio Emilia will have to pay a very heavy fine (between 845 and 1691 euros) for running at a speed well over the allowed limit. In addition to being deducted 10 points from his driving license and his driving license suspended from six months to a year.
Ring road mistaken for a circuit
It ran at 217 km/h, yes a road with a speed limit of 90 km/h. Road agents intercepted the car on the Reggio Emilia ring road. The driver saw the operators trying to check with theirs trucam equipment and braked hard to avoid interception, but there was no way to evade the check.
The man was fined between 845 and 1691 euros, plus 10 points down on the license with driving license suspension for a period of 6 to 12 months.
One of major causes of serious traffic accidents, of course, is the high speed. For this reason, the Reggio Emilia State Police has activated electronic speed checks on the main provincial roads.
For this the Traffic Police Department of Reggio Emilia has carried out more than 10 services in the last two weeks using Trucam equipment to enforce the prohibitions, with remote speed detection and immediate notification of violations.
The “Trucam” telelaser technology
He is just one of 59 motorists, also called ““Speedy Gonzales” who in the last days of this month exceeded the speed limit of 90 km/h on the ring road and reached a speed of over 40 km/h compared to the permitted speed. This was reported by the Reggio Emilia traffic police during a recent inspection of the Trucam telelaser device.
The device used by the traffic police can determine the speed at a distance of 1200 meters from your location and record the measurement data within less than one second. The tool is capable of transmitting the laser beam 66 times in 33 hundredths of a second and return the final number of the measured speed, so the measurement is free from errors.
Throughout the detection phase, the integrated camera records high-definition video to guarantee offenders the certainty of the equivalence between their vehicle and the detected speed.
In total they recorded approx 300 alleged violations And 1260 points deducted on driving licenses. The penalties concerned not only excess speed, but also the now normal lack of vehicle inspection and insurance.
In consideration of the fact that serious violations have been detected, the Traffic Police Department, in order to repress serious careless driving actions, will, through its patrols, identify dangerous actions that can lead to an increase in the number of injured people and the death as a result of a road accident.
