Sint-Niklaas (Eurotoday): A Sint-Niklaas man faced legal action after a high-speed chase in Kruibeke, driving an uninsured and unregistered rental car. He received a one-year driving ban, a €2,000 fine, and must retake driving tests. The rental company was fined €1,600 for providing the vehicle
Last year in Kruibeke, a man was stopped by traffic police after a high-speed chase. He was driving fast, and his rental car was uninsured and unregistered. These issues led to legal action against him. The incident attracted attention because of his reckless driving and disregard for road safety.
How did a Sint-Niklaas man face legal consequences for high-speed driving?
Before the police judge, the man’s lawyer presented a defense. He claimed the car was rented for a wedding, and after that, the driver and his friends went to Antwerp for a meal. The lawyer said the friends pressured the driver to speed and test the car. However, the serious issues of driving an uninsured and unregistered vehicle remained the main focus of the case.
The driver received a one-year driving ban and a fine of 2,000 euros. He must retake all driving tests to prove he can drive safely in the future. The rental car he used has been confiscated, and the rental company was fined 1,600 euros for providing the uninsured vehicle. Authorities mentioned that this case highlights the strict stance of the legal system on dangerous driving and the responsibilities of rental companies.
