An 88-year-old man caught speeding at a breakneck 191 kilometres (119 miles) per hour on a French country road told officers that he was late for his Covid-19 vaccine appointment, police said.

The speed limit on the road where he was picked up on Thursday is 110 kilometres per hour, police in the eastern French Bas-Rhin region said on Facebook.

The driver, a local, "gave as a reason for his speeding that he was late for his anti-Covid vaccine", it said.

Officers confiscated the man's driving licence and impounded his car.

1. I'm surprised they took his car.

Also surprised he didn't hit something, like a tractor or livestock.

2. This also shows that an old person can be fully as reckless

as a young one.
