Just received one for €45, how are these enforced now?
Will I need to sit in a third party embassy to avoid extradition or is it worth just paying it?
83 in a 70 kph
No fines under €90,- can be enforced cross-border for ANY EU country, that's why "les flics" usually make up the fine to €90,- even though a frog wouldn't get it as high!Will I need to sit in a third party embassy to avoid extradition or is it worth just paying it?

Have paid it. With the amount I spent on tolls I was hoping for some form of rebate.
Looking forward to see how much the rental company charge my credit card for their services.
Im curious to see how much if anything you get billedLooking forward to see how much the rental company charge my credit card for their services.
The previous owner of our house gets 2-3 French letters a year which Im fairly sure are speeding tickets and at a guess in rental cars too
He presumably still has our address on his driving licence and uses our house on the rental car forms too
Its been going on for years so the credit card charge for providing details is either zero or a sum close to it otherwise he wouldnt do it
Im torn between thinking he's a sleazy t
t or actually admiring his styleCheers

If you are minded, write to the DVLA stating you think his licence is being used fraudulently.
It's a licence, not a right.

Got me worried for a sec as I drove the whole of France yesterday and seen some flashes in the mirror from those side cameras.
That was in my own car though, not a rental.
How did you manage to do that...they have signs alerting you to their presence about 500m before them?That was in my own car though, not a rental.
Waze also alerts you if you use that, although illegal in theory in France.
