Le Mans guilty speeders 2009
Discussion
Seen a few sporadic speeding threads so thought I'd start one off for 2009
The French police were kind enough to pull me over and confirm my speed for me at 163km/h on the way back. A 90 Euro fine and no questions asked, was a bargain if you ask me just please to keep the licence and the car. Lesson learnt.
I heard further on down the A28 just before Rouen people where getting done for doing 138km/h and that this trap alone had done over 40 people by 3pm.

The trap was probably that gendarme monkey hiding behind a road sign...almost comical being able to just see his little legs dangling below it. A chap who passed us at speed with a silver CLK Black was pulled at the following peage.The French police were kind enough to pull me over and confirm my speed for me at 163km/h on the way back.

I'm sure that the cameras can't be enforced across borders yet can they? If they don't stop you at the time then they can't get you.
Chris and I left earlier and whilst I always keep a lid on it around Rouen anyway based on past experience, didn't actually see a single Flic all the way home.

We were running late for our Sunday-lunchtime train and maintained 115 most of the way to Rouen, until we realised there was no chance and stopped for lunch. We were certainly driving faster than everyone else, generally people were being very sensible. Didn't see any gendarmes at all, which was pretty lucky.
We saw a speed trap on Arnage straight heading up towards the Porsche Curves on Friday, but fortunately we were able to slow down in time. Stopped at the curves for a photo of our cars and a 997 Turbo came past in the opposite direction absolutely nailing it towards the hidden copper (he overtook a speeding bike). As he got closer the French policeman stepped out into the road, at which our Porsche driver stopped, span the car around and drove as hard as he could in the opposite direction. If it was someone here then you are a very, very lucky boy. Had it not been for the fact that the chase police biker was dealing with a Corvette that had gone through moments ahead of you then I think you'd have been dealing with a bit more than and EUR90 fine....

He's not on PH but I'll be forwarding on your little anecdote. They never came for him 
tting himself as he looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was coming as he made his escape! Inigo said:
