Driving 180 km/h on France’s highest motorway is already reckless. Doing it in pouring rain is practically suicidal. This Audi driver learned that lesson the hard way. We all know the type: the driver who believes the laws of physics don’t apply to him just because his grille carries four rings and the word Quattro sits proudly on the rear hatch.
While the rest of the traffic eased off the throttle due to the heavy rain, one motorist from the Paris region decided this was the perfect moment to “test” the limits of his German machine. The stage? The A75 in southern France. Holidaymakers know this isn’t just any stretch of tarmac — it cuts straight through the Massif Central. Beautiful, yes. But also one of the most treacherous highways in Europe. In winter, conditions can shift from sunny skies to a blinding snowstorm in minutes.
