Got flashed by the blighter, doing 90-92 in I think 80km on a steep hill on National Road. First time got over 85km as well - so annoying.
Whats the process ? Await for a letter in the post I guess - any one with the experience who can advise?

We got a flashed by a speed camera last year in France. They sent the fine in the post, think it took about 6 weeks. We also found that we were triggering speed cameras where lorries had a set limit, but obvs it wasnt recognising that we were a motorhome not a lorry, but we didn't get any fines for those, but it was worrying at the time.

Is that the one where it flashes something about how many points you got awarded? Yeah I had loads of them. I Assumed they were congratulating me on how well I was doing!

Yes Barry, that's the one.

As you said, wait for the letter, we have had them from France over the past couple of years, prior to this there did not appear to be any type of follow up.

What I find extremely useful in France and could so easily be applied over here, is when you’re travelling a tad too fast entering a village and how all the traffic lights turn red to compulsorily slow you down. So simple

That wouldn`t work in my bit of Blighty, they would be permanently on red the way the lunatics drive around here
