Speeding in France
Discussion
There was a great article in the Sunday Times on the French crackdown on speeding

I also read somewhere else that it is a myth that they time you on your Peage tickets. It appears that they may stop you at the Peage but they have clocked you somewhere else.
Looks like the good old days have come to an end.

The Swiss are also very hot and fines are income related. A Swede was fined $290,000 for being 57kph over the limit.
A few years ago I was in Switzerland in a convoy of 6 Ferraris and a Lamborghini when a helicopter appeared about 100 feet above us and followed us 50k all the way to the border.
The following year ( I was not with them ) they were all done for overtaking on double white lines which was filmed by a Swiss motorist. They were given a deposit fine of about £200 and subsequently received a notice that they had been fined a further £1100.
I am off to Switzerland in a couple of weeks. I think I may moderate my driving!

They seem to concentrate on the A16 and A26 leading to the Tunnel and channel ports and also the roads to Caen and Le Havre during Le Mans week. On the Route Napoleon (N85) There is a 20mile stretch of motorway from Gap To Sisterone. I must confess to having a few blasts there.
A few years ago a bunch of us had a sweep where we all put 20 euros in and drew a car. The one holding the first car to be done for speeding scooped the pool. I was lucky enough to pick the winner but they did not give me the 200 euro prize but stuck it in the kitty and we drank it!
