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

Photo 3 of 5

To appreciate just how foolish this stunt was, you need to understand the location. The man was stopped near Peyre-en-Aubrac, close to the Col des Issartets — the highest point in France’s motorway network at 1,121 meters above sea level.

This is a region where the weather shows no mercy. Just last week, this exact section was covered in fresh snow. If it’s not snowing, it’s often blanketed in fog, coated in black ice, or — like this day — hammered by freezing rain. Barreling across such a mountain ridge at almost 180 km/h isn’t driving. It’s Russian roulette with a German steering wheel.
