New Speeding Penalties in France
« on: May 11, 2011, 03:15:14 PM »

 Just seen today....if you get caught doing more than 50km/h over the speed limit they can fine you nearly 4Keuro, put you in prison for 3 months, and take your vehicle!  :icon_puke_r: & they are stopping putting warning signs up before the radars, so you have no idea where they are...... [wall]

So those with summer trips planned.....update your radar scanners!

You mean the radar scanners that are compleatly illegal largely useless and will more likely land you in more trouble then speeding?

Those radar scanners or gps based devices?
