outsourced private speedchecks in France

[cramorra]

Any experience?
I understand there are 5 cars in Normandy now with 15 more planned for holiday season for 8 hrs a day more in other regions
I am not sure if autoroute only or also N roads and if it is on the spot fines
Are mini and midi cars from French or affiliate manufacturers think Renault Peugeot dacia and obviously unmarked anybody got more info???

It's really simple. Drive at the limt, not over it.

That way, you won't need to worry about generates with camp and a speed gun, or unmarked dacias. It's their country, so it's their rules.

It's both N roads and autoroutes and the 8 hours are spread over 24 so day and night,

In our area (Haute-Vienne/N Dordogne) there seems to be a backlash against fixed cameras, I've seen 5 vandalised cameras in the last 2 weeks and one in particular seems to get vandalised days after it's repaired/replaced and that's been going on over a year now so someones got a big grudge around there.

True and it's a French wide issue!

We go to our place in Bergerac once or twice a month and continually see smashed/burnt/flattened speed cameras. I see more cameras smashed and inoperable than I see working. The MO, from the local papers/news, seems to be a pickaxe through the lens followed by petrol!!

Outsourced speed enforcement vans here in Ireland too for many years. The police pick the locations and durations. The company GoSafe are paid £1M per month for 8000 hrs of enforcement and 5% just monitoring.

The civvy cars in France just take a photo and the fine is sent via post to your address, unless you have a UK reg vehicle, then you won't hear anything as far as I'm aware.

If you would like to see the registrations for the radar cars in Normandy, here they are;

Go somewhere else with your sanctimonious rubbish.

It's not rubish, you obey the laws of the country you visit. Simple !

OK.

Imagine the reaction on here, especially amongst the more febrile posters, to a bunch of foreigners discussing how they could avoid getting caught whilst speeding in the UK; there'd be outrage. But if 'we' go 'there', it's fine to drive illegally. Riiiight.
