A vehicle flashed at 306 km/h near Liege: why the driver will not be prosecuted
A legal rule and a technical constraint are at the origin of the problem.
During a speed check carried out by the police in October 2020 on the E313 near the municipality of Bassenge in Liege, an NK7 radar flashed a car at 306 km/h. A speed well above the limit and yet, the driver will not be prosecuted: this type of radar can only measure a speed up to 300 km/h. “The radar is approved up to 300km / h, the measured speed is not legally acceptable, “explains Michel Niezen, head of the company Sirien, suppliers of radars, Sudinfo.
The police could decide to fine the driver for malicious traffic obstruction. Small problem: the police must succeed in identifying the driver. However, the radar did not take any picture of the vehicle, so the police have no information about the vehicle, neither the type nor the license plate.
