Spectacularly Foolish Driver Tears Across Wet Mountain Pass at 180 km/h — And Now Pays the Ultimate Price

This incident serves as a stark warning for anyone heading south or toward the Alps this winter. French police step up enforcement on routes like the A75 for a reason: mountain highways record disproportionately high accident rates.

Modern cars inspire confidence — they’re quiet, stable, and packed with electronic helpers that keep you on the road. But on a rain-soaked mountain pass at 1,100 meters, nature always wins over technology. This Parisian driver has learned his lesson. It just cost him his license — and likely his car.
