The Spanish Civil Guard does not play, so use helicopters to control traffic. This not only makes it possible to arrive more quickly at the scene of the accident, requesting the most appropriate help for the situation, but also facilitates the pursuit and identification of offenders. In addition, Pegasus helicopters are equipped with a radar that determines the speed of any vehicle traveling on the roadwithout him realizing what awaits him.
One of Pegasus’ most recent “clients” was an Irish driver, who was caught driving over the speed limit on several sections of the motorway. But in one of them the Irishman did what he could and reached 285km/hstill far from the maximum limit of the helicopter that, apparently, pass fines up to 360 km/h.

The driver will now appear in court, where the judge will impose an economic penalty, in addition to a imprisonment, which can reach a maximum of six months. Given the high speed at which he was caught, it is not impossible that the referee would be tempted to penalize at the same level.
The area of the motorway where the Irishman was caught speeding in a Porsche 911, with English registration, is referred to by the authorities as particularly dangeroushaving recorded 28 accidents this year alone, resulting in two deaths and 11 serious injuries.
