French parking ticket

[dave stew]

Should I ignore it? I got a lucky ticket parked in the street yesterday in Normandy (no obvious signs why you shouldn't park there).

Should I ignore it? Do Les Flics chase you at your UK address?

I always wonder if I should swap plates to some moody ones when I get to the other side of the Channel so that I don't have to worry about any speeding or parking tickets!!

Yeah, that would go down a storm if you got stopped and presented docs with a different registration

OP, if they don't chase it up, you would go into their system as an unpaid fine. That may be no problem unless you get stopped and they notice unpaid fines. My guess is they wouldn't be too impressed.

Do the Frogs have the equivalent of ANPR over there yet ? Doing spot checks like the BiB do over here?

Can't imagine it'll be too many years before they have ANPR cameras outside Calais to nab people with unpaid fines.

Ignore. I've had a few unpaid and never been chased (also vice versa with French registered car in the UK).
