His time behind bars did not discourage Lyon's most famous driver.
Nicknamed “Baby driver 695” on his social networks, where he publishes videos of his rodeos in full traffic, a 24-year-old young man from Bron was arrested this week after a new series of traffic offenses, according to information from the
Progress
confirmed to Le
Figaro
by several sources close to the matter.
An investigation was opened by the Lyon public prosecutor's office to find the drivers of two other vehicles which accompanied him.
Because it was indeed three cars traveling at 180 km/h that the police spotted Tuesday evening, shortly before midnight on the ring road, limited to 70 km/h, increasing the number of infractions and refusing to comply.
A dangerous behavior prohibiting any intervention by the police, who preferred to set up monitoring of drivers, specifies
Le Progrès
.
With success, since the three individuals stopped at the Solaize area, on the A7 motorway, south of Lyon.
But only “Baby driver” was arrested while he filmed himself once again behind the wheel of a 600 horsepower BMW M8, the two other drivers having fled.
Placed in police custody for “motorized rodeo”, “driving without a license” and “aggravated refusal to comply”, he admitted the facts.
Sentencing in 2021
“Baby Driver” made himself known in 2021 by publishing a video in which he filmed the interior of his BMW launched at more than 200 km/h in the middle of traffic on the Lyon ring road.
He was sentenced to two years of imprisonment including six months for these facts, but quickly resumed his activity once his sentence was served, as shown in the videos published on his social networks.
Le Progrès
also specifies that the young man is the target of two other ongoing investigations for similar facts.
Enough to leave on the side of the road for a while someone who no longer has any points on his driving license anyway.
Referred this Thursday, he was to be tried in immediate appearance this afternoon, specifies the Lyon prosecutor's office to
