If you put on false plates once you entered France, (not suggesting anyone should do this), would you be pretty much immune from speeding fines if you weren't physically stopped?

The same as you would be, anywhere?

[lowdrag]

I have seen some obviously false plates on cars here during Le Mans week, but thinking the BiB might not recognise FUK 1 T was I thought being naive. it was on a blue BMW. But perhaps he did, I don't know. Anyway, we are getting into the realms of fancy here. The good news is that there are, it seems to me and my friends, far less mobile radar traps than before, but obviously Le Mans week and the Classic are like red flags to a bull. But this being PH, there will probably be the "did you get fined €750 like me" thread after the race.

They never got the cars back. They were crushed.

Crushed?? That seems ridiculous to me.

[IanCress]

That's an article from 3 years ago and mentions nothing about cars being crushed?

Anyway, fellow trolls listen up, this is how you do first post; "i own a (presumably) Ferrari FF and i like to drive it fast (in France)". Then add some drivel about having it confiscated by the gendarme and that it can and will be sold on via a French David Dickinson, for maximum effect of scare-mongering and also to give you that powerfully-built reputation that you so long for. Oh and shake it off and act like this scenario and money is nothing to you.

Merde.

If your car got seized could you not quickly get a logbook loan on it? So it can’t be crushed as it’s not yours?

Honestly, why do you think that could make any difference?

This is a real question

You’ll just end up having lost the car in France and being sued in England for fraud.

FF has an entirely different meaning on Grindr

[Burwood]

In Australia they’ll seize and crush (NSW police) your car at 45km over. Doesn’t even matter if the owner isn’t the driver. Apparently they’ve crushed 10,000 cars in the last few years.

Even if I knew what that meant, I wouldn't admit to it...

It's what happens in Suffolk when you clench all 7 fingers of one hand together.
