| Guardia Civil Traffic officers in León have arrested two young bikers - aged 24 and 31 - who recorded themselves taking part in illegal road races at speeds of close to 300 km an hour. They are accused of persistent dangerous driving.
The investigation began at the start of this month after a member of the public came forward with a DVD showing footage of the race along the CL-631 between Ponferrada and Villablino, which proves that along some stretches, speeds approaching 300km an hour were reached.
The video also shows the racers travelling in excess of 200km an hour through urbanised areas where the maximum speed limit is just 40km an hour. |
