Company solutions for ecology and economy. Politics, technologies, innovations, clean energy, home and work, DIY and self-construction, repairing a breakdown, health, bitcoins and alternative finance

A letter from a motorist flashed 250 km / h on a stretch of road limited to 70 (in France):
"Your Honor, I have indeed seen the marking" 70 "in black circled in red on the panel without any other indication of units. You know that the law of July 4, 1837 makes the metric system compulsory in France and that the decree n ° 65-501 of May 3, 1961, modified (taken in application of European directives) defines as LEGAL BASIC UNITS the units of the international system (SI).
You can check all this on the government site: Now, in the SI system, the unit of length is the "meter" and the unit of time is the "second". It is therefore obvious that the LEGAL speed unit is then the METER PER SECOND. I cannot imagine for a second that the Ministry of the Interior does not apply the laws of the Republic. So 70 m / s corresponds exactly to 252 km / h. The police say I was clocked at 250 km / h and I do not dispute that. I was therefore 2 km / h under the authorized limit.
Thank you to take note, to give me my license and let me go.
With my best wishes"
