Uhh, 125 in an 80, yes you were taking the piss - what did you expect?
In my defence it was 6:30am and there was no traffic around.However, I know I was in the wrong and yes if it had happened in the UK the punishment would have been far worse.
Have a friend who lives in the Alps who has told me they are particularly hot on speeding this year. In fairness, I've heard every year I've been to Le Mansa that they are getting more and more strict, but this year Carol warned me that they are pulling people at less than 30 over the limit, (previously I'd heard as long as you weren't daft you tended to get over looked).
As Burriana says, stick to a steady speed with the occasional blip..

Is that 30 clicks over or old money?
ps: No probs with a bed at Ashford Si. We are aiming to arrive between 6-7pm and mosey into town for a few drinks and something to eat, although ... What are you doing with your car? As you cannot leave it at the Travel Lodge.
We left Ron's down some random street somewhere in Ashford suburbia last year, though that was a fairly annonymous 3-series saloon.
May well be easier for you to grab a lift from London with one of the others if you have a place there (sorry, lost track of where you are living these days but I recall you saying something about staying at yours in London?)
Your call

30 kph over on the peage used to be ok as long as you're not being a t
t, so upto 160kmh on a dry road tended to not get a tug. I might know someone who accidentally passed a gendarme at about that speed on their way to Monaco, who got a thumbs up and a big grin.. Carol's been pulled at less than that, so between 130 and 160 in the dry.
Stick to less than 100 in real money might result in a tug and a low fine, (can't remember if that's 30 or 60 Euro).
As I said though, heard this every year, but this is the 1st time from a French national..
Got you re Ashford. Doubt I'll be able to get to you much before last orders, but I'll try. Will be in the anonymous econnoskoda so ought to be ok to dump it anywhere.

I am fairly certain our little convoy is intending to stick to the limits and enjoy the views!
We'll give you a wave as we go past

Give us a shout when you arrive and you may as well drive into town so we can find somewhere for the car. You do not want to leave it until the morning!Gassing Station | Le Mans | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
