An 88 year old man was caught by French police driving on a country road at 191 km/h. AFP cited a post by police which said that the man had explained to officers that his reason for speeding was that he was late for his COVID-19 vaccine appointment.
According to the report, the speed limit on the road was 110 km, officers from the Bas-Rhin region wrote on Facebook.
Officers confiscated the man's drivers license and impounded his car. "For everyone's safety, let's comply with speed limits, even after more than 60 years with a driving license," the post concluded.
It is unclear from the report whether the man made it to his appointment on time.
