I am sure we can all remember the weeks and weeks of topics on here last year with some truths and some myths about speeding in France.
I must admit i drove a little more carefully last year but a few in the convoy did some stuntman work on the N138 and nobody i heard of got more than a 90euro slap..any1 get anything else??

I got €90 on the N138 coming home on Monday lunchtime.

Had to drive miles into a little village to get the cash while the police waited with my documents.

The hardest point was that none of them spoken any English (understandable I suppose) but luckily while I was trying to work out what I had to do a helpful Brit must have senced my need and also got himself pulled, joining me with some more police - who spoke English!

Not bad for 218kph I thought

John.

i really really dont want to be speeding when i go, can't face having to pay money to the coppers.

you don't get points on your licence do you? i heard that they might be trying to implement it, but never heard anything else

It's inevitable. You'll also go through various speed cameras, but as long as you don't stop for a chat with les gendarmes, where's the harm!

The static cameras don't matter a jot. We play the flashy flashy game with the gatsos accross Wales and England. It only matters if you get pulled over.
