What do you do with an Opel Tigra? You have a maximum of unbelievable 125 PS & 165 MM torque available (1.8-Ecotec) and, if things go well, you can sprint to 10 km / h in just under 100 seconds. The acceleration values with the 90 PS 1.4 Twinport (Ecotec) or the lame 1.3 CDTI (Ecotec) are almost cruel. We'd rather not mention numbers here! The key data crystallize, however, that the Tigra is a vehicle for cruising that spoils its occupants with the typical flair of a convertible and only in the Emergency want to overtake a truck on the highway. A Tigra definitely does not want a road race! And certainly not with the police ... An 25-year-old rider, however, saw things completely different in Leverkusen recently and challenged a civilian police patrol with Papa's Tigra for an illegal road race with a start at a traffic light.
Raser without a license on the way
The officials of course rejected the action, but have nevertheless pursued the black Opel for a time. After risky lane changes and 130 km / h in an 60 km / h zone as well as the excursion over the middle island of a roundabout was then however end with the drive. It turned out that the driver did not have a driver's license (has already been withdrawn), 0,3 had alcohol in intuition and even signs of drug use were present. Results: direct visit to the police station, driving prohibited until further notice and Papas Tigra was confiscated. If it turns out that the father has deliberately lent the vehicle to the son, he too faces the threat of criminal proceedings.
