Hi,

I have just recieved a french ticket 45 euros for doing 83 in an 80 zone, last May.

Dezi :scared:
 
Are they going to be able to enforce that if we ever manage to achieve the "B" word?
 
That's a bit harsh for 3 kmh over,may be why their roads are so good with that sort of income.
 
Time limit

In the UK the Police have to send The speeding notice to the registered keeper within 14 days of when the speeding offence took place.(I got away with the last one :eek:)
And the French, can wait as long as they like !? Doesn't sound right to me.
 
Seems people are getting multiple ones left, right and centre going by various fb groups I’m in.
 
I just received one as well, 89 in an 80 zone near Tours in early October. A demand for 45 yoyos. I'm in two minds as to whether to pay it, not sure whether it is enforceable and it's unlikely I will ever return to France in the same vehicle.

I think that the French think its the BEF trying to get to the channel ports in light of our retreat after being over run by others.:idea-007::idea-007::idea-007::idea-007:
 
Coming down through France it was noticeable that local drivers were sticking to speed limits. Changed days. Now in Italy ......

Cant see how you could ever end up with points for an offence from abroad.

These are finally racking up everywhere now.

Seems some are taking an age to get through and others not. Trouble is if you get one early on in a long trip and they are on the ball they can apparently go up if you dont pay them quickly so you could be blissfully unaware its sat on the doormat back home. I think the French system allows a year for them to come after you. Their rules I guess not ours. Not sure about other countries.

I got flashed about half a dozen times in 2017 across Europe and mainly in France but never heard anything because back then they weren't bothering. Seems they are now big time.

Much easier to just cough up.
I wonder if they would go to the trouble of cross referencing your vehicle to your passport and channel crossing.
If they did, they could get you later

Whilst I agree that such info should be available for a crime.

It strikes me that Data protection laws should prohibit such X referencing But ????
