«You'd better choose another car than a Porsche»
Rotselaar/Geel - The Leuven Police Court [Belgium] has recommended a 40-year old woman to buy another car. The Court considers that the woman has assimilated herself too much with her Porsche.
A 40-year old woman from Geel was imposed a three month driving ban by the Leuven Police Court. On July 3, 2011 she was caught [by a speed trap] at the E314 [highway] in Wezemaal (Rotselaar) at a speed of 185 km/h [115 mph].
It was already the 12th time that the woman had been caught speeding with her Porsche.
The woman was also already caught once when she had parked her sports car on a parking space for differently abled people.
According to the judge a causational link exists between the driving behavior of the woman and her Porsche 911: «Apparently she has fully adapted her driving behavior to her car, piling up the offenses. I would like to recommend her to chose another type of car, because in my view this is the root cause of her very high speed results which have been registered.»
Apart from a three month driving ban the judge also condemned the woman to a EUR1,100 fine.

«U kiest beter een andere wagen dan een Porsche»
Rotselaar/Geel - De politierechter in Leuven heeft een 40-jarige vrouw aangeraden om een andere auto te kopen. Ze heeft zich te zeer vereenzelvigd met haar Porsche, vindt de rechtbank.
Een 40-jarige vrouw uit Geel heeft van de Leuvense politierechter een rijverbod van drie maanden gekregen. Ze werd op 3 juli 2011 op de E314 in Wezemaal (Rotselaar) geflitst met een snelheid van 185 kilometer per uur.
Het was al de twaalfde keer dat de vrouw betrapt werd op te snel rijden met haar Porsche.
De beklaagde werd ook al een keer betrapt toen ze haar sportwagen op een parkeerplaats voor andersvaliden achterliet.
Volgens de politierechter is er een oorzakelijk verband tussen het rijgedrag van de vrouw en haar Porsche 911. «Blijkbaar heeft ze haar rijgedrag volledig aangepast aan haar wagen en stapelen de overtredingen zich op. Ik zou haar willen aanraden voor een ander type auto te kiezen, want dat ligt volgens mij aan de grondslag van de wel zeer hoge snelheden die ze laat noteren.»
De rechter sprak naast het rijverbod van drie maanden een boete van 1.100 euro uit.

That could be the first non-ironic usage of the term "differently-abled".

Amazing story! So she is innocent but the car is guilty? That would be my defense!


Last year there was this guy from the UK that was pretty smart. I have heard of many people driving a car in Germany from another country here and their German registered car in the UK(or where ever). That way they don't get any tickets! lol

Anyway... this guy lived in Bayreuth (BT) but his Audi had UK tags/plates. When ever he would see a mobile "Blitzer" (camera) he would put up his Muppet doll... and say CHEASE Herr Polizei. I think the BT Polizei are still looking for this guy.
