What do Hollywood stars Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have in common with the heir to the royal throne of Belgium? Both celebrities and the prince regularly break traffic rules. The youngest son of King Albert II, Prince Laurent, was recently detained by the police for speeding while driving.
According to press reports, the 47-year-old prince broke the rules in Brussels, where he was traveling at a speed of 82 kilometers per hour on a section with a limited speed limit of 50 kilometers. As a result, the king's son was deprived of his driver's license. The sentence, says Agence France-Presse, was two weeks.
At one time, Prince Laurent even made a proposal to introduce separate traffic rules for owners of high-speed cars. “Cars that travel at a speed of three hundred and one hundred kilometers per hour are not the same thing,” he said. However, the government did not support the prince's idea.
Prince Laurent is known as a big fan of fast driving, writes the Belgian edition of De Standaard. In particular, at various times he was seen driving a Ferrari F355 supercar, as well as a copy of the Subaru Impreza rally car, in which he even had an accident once.
Prince Laurent himself does not hide his passion. By the way, the passion for racing seems to be inherited. At one time, King Albert II, however, before accession to the throne, was an avid biker. Acting as a monarch, he, however, allowed himself from time to time to "ride with the breeze." And only eight years ago, the 77-year-old king said that for health reasons he was forced to say goodbye to this hobby.
The last time His Majesty got behind the wheel of a Harley-Davidson was in 2003, in honor of the opening of the motorcycle parade, organized as part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of his accession to the throne. At the same time, the monarch was awarded the honorary badge of the "First Motorcyclist of Belgium".
