The beautiful days return and with them the backfires and dangerous offenses committed by motocross riders.
Monday, around 8:30 p.m. in Corbeil-Essonnes, a police patrol spotted an unapproved motocross running on the N7 near the Tarterêts district.
Upon seeing them, the motorcyclist, who was also riding on the sidewalks while rear wheeling, turned around.
He fled by taking the stairs to the Fresh Market car park, “driving at high speed in the presence of pedestrians”, specify the police.
Well known to the police and formally identified, he was arrested the next day, Tuesday afternoon.
Another similar case took place overnight from Monday to Tuesday in Draveil, rue Ferdinand Buisson.
Around midnight, a police patrol came across several individuals not wearing helmets on two scooters and a motocross.
All fled, but the motocross was again spotted on rue du Port-aux-Dames.
The driver fled the scene, pulling away and doing a wheelie while running a red light.
But again, the man was well known and was identified by the police who were able to arrest him a few hours later on rue Charles Darwin in Draveil.
Mayors are also stepping up
The phenomenon of urban rodeos also tenses many mayors.
A few days ago, Damien Allouch (PS), the mayor of Épinay-sous-Sénart, ranted about the subject, thereby expressing the dismay and the fed up of its inhabitants who suffer these nuisances .
In Brunoy, Bruno Gallier (LR) organized a meeting on Saturday with local residents and launched a petition to challenge the police and "push the authorities to find solutions" against the perpetrators of these urban rodeos.
The police responded by arresting these two alleged speeders.
They incur one year in prison and a fine of 15,000 euros, as well as the seizure or even the destruction of the vehicle.
