Tesla and motorcycle clocked over 200 km/h in Morbihan, drivers lose licences

On a road segment limited to 110 km/h in Morbihan, French gendarmes recorded a Tesla traveling at a measured 214 km/h and a motorcycle at 207 km/h. The drivers were stopped, their licences were immediately suspended and both vehicles were towed to a police depot. Authorities warned that such extreme speed excesses dramatically increase braking distances and pose a serious danger to all road users.

The incident highlights intensified traffic‑control efforts by the departmental flow‑control squad, which aims to curb reckless high‑speed racing on public highways.
