Montpellier: A Frenchman tried to avoid a speeding ticket by changing the color of his car, but the police foiled his plan and arrested him.
According to media reports, the French citizen was accused of driving a Porsche sports car at high speed and failed to stop despite police signals. He tried to deceive the police by changing the color of his car to avoid a large fine.
The incident took place in the city of Montpellier, where the French police saw the driver driving at a speed of 188 km per hour. When they signaled him to stop, he took his place.
The car was going so fast that officers were unable to catch it or get a license plate number. However, in their report, they identified the car as a light green Porsche 911 sports car.
There was only one person in the area driving a green Porsche. When the police called him to the station, officers were surprised to see his gray sports car.
The 40-year-old suspect told officers he could not be the man they were looking for and that his car had a flat tire on the day of the incident. Officers continued their investigation and found traces of green paint on various parts of the car. The suspect was arrested for endangering the lives of others and deceiving a police officer.
