Speed limits are to be respected, at least in theory, although in practice most drivers exceed them from time to time. But, like everything in this life, there are levels and levels of speeding violations, and today we bring you to the “Olympus” of this category: the 7 highest speeding tickets issued in Spain.
297km/h
2016 was the year in which he established the, for the moment, speeding record in Spain. The protagonist of the “feat” was a disabled driver, who was behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 Carrera despite not having points on his license and who was caught by radar going 297 km/h.
295km/h
The second highest figure is very close to it, 295 km/h, and by chance it was registered in a Porsche 911 as well, although in this case it was a Turbo version. It happened in October 2021 on the A-62 highway, which connects Burgos and Portugal, at the height of the municipality of Fuentes de Oñoro.
287km/h
The bronze is for a fine established closer in time, specifically in June 2022. Again the vehicle involved was a Porsche 911, at the controls of which was an Irish driver, who was going 287 km/h in Segovia, at the height of El Espinar. He was hunted by a Pegasus, but agents were unable to intercept him until 70 km later.
280km/h
This case, which took place in March 2017, is especially striking because, instead of on a road limited to 120 km/h, like the previous ones, it took place on one of only 90 km/h, so driving at 280 km/h is a much higher speed excess.
In addition, it is different from the previous ones because on this occasion the vehicle was hunted by a section radar that monitored a section of three kilometers at km 31 of the Ferrol branch of the AP-9 motorway, at the height of Fene, in A coruña.
276km/h
Another hunt that took place in 2017, although in this case we are talking about the month of January and the place was Almería, specifically on the N-347, a road limited to 90 km/h that connects the A-7 motorway with the airport. A mobile radar captured a Nissan GT-R driving at 276 km/h.
255km/h
In this case there is no information about the author or the car, but, although the absolute speed is lower than in other cases, the vehicle was traveling at 255 km/h on a road that was limited to 80 km/h, so in percentage terms speeding is higher.
252km/h
The case that closes the list, which dates from August 2013, is very close. A Belgian driver was hunted at 252 km/h while he was behind the wheel of an Audi A4 on the AP-7, specifically at kilometer 537. ,5.
