my ff was seized by French police..
Discussion
Just to let you know the myth of French police taking your car for speeding is no myth. I had mine seized at the roadside 4 weeks ago and court was today but the judge makes up his mind tomorrow.
THEY WILL TAKE YOUR CAR and they can then sell it at auction and keep the money.
French prosecutor is seeking it be seized..careful!

That's absolutely ridiculous, how can that even be legal!?!
May be a good time to get some highly leveraged tick on it - not your property for them to cease then....
How can it be legal? Because it is the actual law over there perhaps? Im not entirely familiar with the threshold value for this to come into effect, but something tells me TS wasnt doing a mere 10 over the limit.May be a good time to get some highly leveraged tick on it - not your property for them to cease then....
And one would assume that making the car you break the law in, not your property will not fix this, any lease agreement will hold you responsible for losing possession of the vehicle.
If you want to speed, hit up the german autobahn or go to a track, breaking laws abroad is stupid anyway

Thing is with a finance agreement in place they couldn't then take something which doesnt belong to you, much like bailiff's can't cease cars subject to finance over hereAnd one would assume that making the car you break the law in, not your property will not fix this, any lease agreement will hold you responsible for losing possession of the vehicle.

The threshold for confiscation is 50kmh over the limit. I and at least one other PHer, when caught doing more than that, were written up as doing 49 over so as, presumably, to avoid the need for confiscation, and just get a ban.OP may well have been driving like a complete bellend though; I don't know.

Im not sure the law is about the ownership of the vehicle, but the fact that the vehicle was used in a misdemeanor/crimeBurwood said:
