Should have taken the freebie motorway from Lille to Dunkirk. Way less police.
I don't think that's too bad. Hopefully he had a passenger to drive the car. I've heard if it's someone on their own, the police will stay by the car for some hours to stop you getting back in it and driving it illegally.
Small price to pay though. As others stated, you'd be pushing a jail sentence in the UK for that sort of speed.
I wonder how much the other nations do share data with one another. Whenever coming back north through France, there are plenty of Germans and Dutch cars flying past.
At least they fine us on the spot though. I remember a police interceptors program where a German RS6 was caught in the UK doing over 155+. Had set off tons of speed cameras, taken a fair few cars to catch trying to head him off. All he got was a court order, which will be sent to German address (who knows if the one he gave was real), and was allowed on his merry way accelerating from still on the hard shoulder straight into the fast lane.

On the run down to Paris there used to be an old grey Pug 306 that crept along the motorways, The guy that sat in the back held a camera on the parcel shelf, the flash gun was aimed at the motorist and actually flashed quite brightly, surely thats more dangerous than going slightly over the speed limit.
I got caught driving through Belgium at over 190kph by a very very angry copper.He had been following me at those speeds for over 10kms with his lights and woowooos on,didn't see him as it was bucketing it down and i couldn't hear as the radio was on, this made him even more angry, i got off lightly with a £200 fine.
TBH mate if you've doing that sort of speed when it's "bucketing it down" you deserve a good wallet rapingI got caught driving through Belgium at over 190kph by a very very angry copper.He had been following me at those speeds for over 10kms with his lights and woowooos on,didn't see him as it was bucketing it down and i couldn't hear as the radio was on, this made him even more angry, i got off lightly with a £200 fine.
