The Mossos d’Esquadra detected a motorcyclist at about 4pm on Saturday 31 October during a radar speed-control operation on the C-17 near kilometre 64.4, close to Gurb in Osona. The radar recorded 200 km/h on a stretch limited to 100 km/h, twice the permitted speed. The Catalan police later published the official image. Local newspaper El 9 Nou reported that the rider was travelling towards Barcelona and was a 49-year-old resident of Osona.
The recorded speed was 100 km/h above the limit. Mossos reported the rider for a suspected offence against road safety under Article 379.1 of Spain’s Penal Code. On an interurban road, the law sets the threshold at more than 80 km/h above the permitted speed. The alleged excess in this case was 20 km/h beyond that threshold. The Directorate-General of Traffic (DGT) summarises the same article as covering excesses of more than 60 km/h on urban roads and more than 80 km/h on interurban roads.
Possible penalties include three to six months in prison or a fine of six to 12 months. Community service for 31 to 90 days is another option, together with a driving disqualification of one to four years. The police report is an allegation, not a court conviction.
Ara also reported that the motorcycle appeared to be travelling in the left lane without overtaking another vehicle. The reported criminal referral concerned the alleged speeding offence.
The C-17, also known as the Eix del Congost, runs for 95 kilometres between Barcelona and Ripoll. It passes through Mollet del Vallès, then Granollers; farther north, the route runs through La Garriga and Vic.
Official data cited in the report indicate that speeding is frequent on the C-17 and radar checks are common. A separate vehicle-compliance case concerns alleged Tesla FSD software unlocking in South Korea, covered in a separate report.
