LES SABLES D'OLONNE (AFP) - A driver was fined in Les Sables d'Olonne for "too low speed" (36 km / h) at the edge of the beach where the speed was limited to 50 km / h, causing exasperation of the drivers following him.
The man in his forties was checked with binoculars at 36 km / h while behind him the calls of the headlights increased. He was fined last Friday around 16:00 p.m. for "too low a speed" with a fine of 22 euros. An offense provided for in the article of the highway code R413-19 but "extremely rare", according to the police station of Sables d'Olonne.
"For the verbalization to be valid, it must be established that the driver was driving below an average speed and was a nuisance to other vehicles", according to the same source.
No minimum speed is prescribed by law on roads except on motorways where the minimum speed allowed on the left lane is 80 km / h.
