Ouch.
Sharing UK databases with our European buddies is a scary thought.
I'd rather pay the on the spot fine and have done with it.

The fines aren't the problem for me, its the points.

The move is inevitable I suppose but we'll see if it ever actually happens. Been threatened a few times with nothing actually getting done.

I have some points on a German licence that they were kind enough to create for me at the Court hearing I didn't attend.....

"A quarter of speeding offences in France are committed by foreign motorists. During the summer holiday months, that increases to half."

Seems very high, wonder what the stat is during Le Mans weekend?

"A quarter of speeding offences in France are committed by foreign motorists. During the summer holiday months, that increases to half."

That's a rather leading statement isn't it! It couldn't possibly be that the gendarmes target foreign motorists could it...

I remember going to Le Mans one year with my old man, we were hooning down a motorway in his bright yellow Tuscan and got caught speeding, we then headed down a back road and got caught Again!

So we then drove at the speed limit... And then got done for speeding Again.

The lesson is... When driving a bright yellow TVR there is no where to hide, if they want you they will get you.

At least it's not retrospective " I hope " all those photos they have of us are technically unsolved crimes or to out it another way a huge pile of unpaid fines to be collected.
