Reckless Driving on Paris Streets During Wartime
In Paris last Sunday afternoon several young men from a neighboring community drove through the streets at breakneck speed with their horn blaring. No pedestrians or cars were harmed due to luck and timing, but the drivers were arrested and appeared in court this week. The incident echoes wartime strain and violates traffic regulations and wartime boards rules. The vehicle owner will likely face shortages of tires and gasoline as a consequence.
