Violation Notice received - I only dropped into France for 70km or so on my trip last Sept. Seems I violated the Republic by doing 91kph (56.5 mph) in an 80 (49.7). Threshold is 86. On the D918 near Bidarray which is a fun road that runs from the lovely Alto De Izpegi pass in the Basque Pyrenees towards St Jean de Luz. 45 euros if I pay by end of April. It was a POLISCAN F1HP according to the notice. https://www.radars-auto.com/info-radars/...ic-poliscan.php

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 That's the trouble with owning the faster lupin version. Can't you wait a couple of days then tell them to fuck off as we leave Europe in a couple of days. I'd like to add I've not seen the news so maybe we're leaving a fortnight next Wednesday.

I don't remember the camera. It was 12:50 and I was probably thinking about lunch. Seems to be this one if I am reading the location correctly PK/PR 041=800 on the D918 near Bidarray |

that took a while to come through, I will have to be careful on my faster lupin blue in May as will make a point of doing a small part of France to get down to Krutchen. Though after having to do the boring bit of Holland you always want to "make progress"afterwards.

Zitat von midlife crisis im Beitrag #4 29 Sept 2018 was the date I was nabbed, notice printed on 13 Mar 2019, posted on 22 Mar, received today. They don't rush these matters. I have been taking the piss in France since 1995 when I had a VFR750 and this is the first fine so 45 euros speeding tax is good value. As I am likely to be in France next month on the way to Germany, then in Alsace in June and maybe back in the Pyrenees in September, I think I will pay up. |

That fine sounds like a real bargain to me. In California, a similar infraction would set you back ten times that amount. But at least we don't have automatic speeding ticket dispensing machines here. They have to catch you red-handed and at you would have a chance to talk the cop out of giving you a ticket. Plus, if you are from another country, you likely would get off with a warning as the cop wouldn't want to deal with the necessary paperwork to issue the ticket.

Zitat von boxter im Beitrag #7 the French pick & choose which elements of EU bureaucracy they adopt. As do many other countries. If we took a more laissez faire, pragmatic attitude rather than doing everything to the letter in EU policy then perhaps we would have fewer things to get up tight about. Sometimes the French government adopts something and then changes its mind when it realises it does not work or the populace complain and set fire to things. We have a government that seems incapable of recognising when a policy is dead in the water. It's going to take more than a few fires to sort out our mess. |

Just curious on how that violation would be enforced for non-EU residents? Is the time period for notice shortened?

Zitat von AZGeek im Beitrag #9 The difference is that you have a leader who stands up for stands up for the citizens of your country. Thumbs up for President Trump.

Zitat von Bacaruda im Beitrag #11 I am sure that stands you in a good positions "avec le Gendarme" I've never had a problem with the French traf Pol although did play hide and seek in a village restaurant after 4 of us buzzed two members stood having a fag by their car at a seriously stooopid speed. So all you guys with highly conspicuous (I didn't say "gay") lupins really need the stealthy black ones

Zitat von AZGeek im Beitrag #9 It's held on file if you do not pay as a criminal offence in France. The penalty notice makes that clear. If you get stopped by a police officer (or involved in an accident) at a later date, then as soon as they put your details into the computer your record will appear. For countries further away then the odds would be in your favour or you could avoid the country. I like France and will visit many times again plus it is a transit country to other places. I would rather pay the 45 euros and avoid any nastiness in the future. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #13Zitat von AZGeek im Beitrag #9 Oops. Got a speeding fine posted to me from Italy some 13 years ago. €150 that I ignored. With interest it might be a bit higher today, but I think there is a 5 year suspension on those crimes. Hope so at least. |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #13Zitat von AZGeek im Beitrag #9 I have (touch wood) never had a problem in France and Wessie is right, they keep your details on file and if they catch you again, it is a double whammy. 45 Euro fine is not worth arguing about, couple of years ago I was caught in Switzerland doing 120Kph in a 90 zone and had to pay the Minimum fine of roughly £900. The police told me that if I didn't pay, I would not be welcomed in Switzerland and if caught again there I would also be locked up for 10 days, plus have to pay the outstanding fine. |
