Blasting through France post Brexit
Discussion
I don't know what will be the position for fixed cameras but you'll still be at risk from the gendarmerie, just as you will be in Spain. Spanish police will target the roads leading to the circuit, so you had better exercise discretion and plot a route which avoids main roads. You have plenty of good roads to choose from in both France and Spain.

Why would being post Brexit allow you to ride like a t
t in Europe? We will probably still be subject to most EU road regulations via reciprocal agreement as we are presently.
Have you ever driven / ridden through France? Nobody lives there. You can comfortably sit at 120 without being any kind of tt in Europe? We will probably still be subject to most EU road regulations via reciprocal agreement as we are presently.Edited by warch on Tuesday 31st December 13:53

With respect that is btks if you're talking MPH. As someone else said if you're caught at that speed you're under arrest and immediately banned with the bike impounded until a mate brings a trailer/van over to collect you and said bike. French limit on most non dual carriageways is now 80 Kph - 50 Mph - down from 90 Kph and the cameras are triggered by only small amounts of excess e.g around 136 Kph on a 130 Kph limit motorway.

Apart from all the other reasons why not, under the transitional period arrangements in the withdrawal agreement, Britain remains subject to all EU law and for all practical purposes an EU member (apart from having no voting rights) until at least the end of 2020. So nothing will have changed when you go. On the plus side your EHIC will still work, so your travel insurance will still be cheap.Riley Blue said:
According to my friends living in France, speed limits there have become far more rigorously enforced in recent years, more cameras, unmarked cars etc. etc. 'Blast through' if you wish but they don't advise it.
Speed limits on single carriageways are now a also a mere 80kmph

The 'good old days' ended around 10-ish years ago IMHO.Pesky French got fed up with the death toll and decided to do something about it.

My guess is that it won’t be pleasant.
can you imagine the whining and gnashing of teeth if he did, id rather he listened and did not get thrown in french pokey just so we don't have to be subjected to his posts after his release.My guess is that it won’t be pleasant.
When you go to another country just behave yourself. It isn’t difficult.

their gaff their rules don't b
h like a 3 year old because you broke their rules.I am guessing the OP means drive with little respect for fixed speed cameras, just like johnny foreigner does when they visit the UK 
I do wonder if the existing traffic offence data sharing agreement will still be in force after Jan2020? Is the agreement with the EU as a whole or is it multiple bi-lateral agreements with individual EU members ?
