Since Wednesday and until Sunday evening, many checks are carried out by the gendarmerie on the roads of the department. The long weekend of Ascension, which encourages users to travel extensively, prompted the gendarmes to carry out several road checks. From Wednesday May 17, on the highway, then this Thursday May 18, mainly on departmental roads. In Gellainville, near Chartres, ten gendarmes were mobilized.
“Here we control the blood alcohol level and the consumption of narcotics. »

With good weather, less vigilant drivers
“With these sunny days, road users are less vigilant. We show our presence to hammer home a message of prevention. Alcohol and narcotics disinhibit drivers and cause many risks”, declares Lieutenant-Colonel Gabriel Lothe accompanied by Frédéric Blanc, chief of staff of the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir.

On Wednesday, throughout the department, 25 speeding violations were observed, including one at more than 40 km / h resulting in the retention of the driving license. The gendarmes also intervened for defects in technical control, driving without a license and the use of the telephone while driving.
