Driving along the A10 in central France, suddenly saw my reg plate on an overhead sign with the words TROP PRES.

Am I doomed? Anyone know what the likely outcome will be?
Guillotine?

Google tells me it means "Too close".

I suspect you won't be for the chop.

I have had that .
They send French thugs arround to your house and beat you and your family up .
Or you can pay a Euro 200 fine .

I live in Romney Marsh, we don’t take kindly to that sort of thing. We’d chuck em back in the sea if they tried that on.

Romney Marsh is one of three UK locations where the French thugs will not attend.
So it just the fine option.
