At the end of the evening, Sunday, police officers from the Sûreté du Québec based in Laval tried to intercept him while he was speeding south of Saint-Jérôme.
Despite the sirens and flashing lights of the patrol cars on duty, the motorcyclist did not deign to stop, even trying several maneuvers to flee the officers.
The 40-year-old man, a resident of Labelle, in the Laurentians, finally pulled over by himself a few kilometers further, indicates the Sûreté du Québec in a press release issued Monday.
Captured at a speed of 180 km/h in an area where the maximum limit is 100 km/h, he was fined $1,546 and 14 demerit points. He also had his driver’s license immediately suspended for 30 days and his motorcycle was towed at the same time.
What’s more, the man could face charges of driving while impaired by a combination of alcohol and drugs, absconding and threatening to kill peace officers, in addition to receiving a host of statements of offences.
The Sûreté du Québec takes this opportunity to point out that speed is one of the leading causes of fatal collisions.
