5 days in prison for Brit caught doing 246kmph in France..
#1
In an M3.
It appears that there are now some permananent speed traps on some French Autoroutes. This guy was caught north of Reims.
The fine was EUR 750 + 60 days in prison (55 days were suspended).
I don't know if he is also facing a ban or any points on his UK licence.
The following links are all in French..

Une vitesse de 233 km/h avait finalement été retenue, pour tenir compte du pourcentage d'erreur potentiel.
Installés il y a trois semaines, les dix-sept premiers radars automatiques sur les routes de France ont flashé 40 .000 automobilistes en excès de vitesse.

The news article video is great. It shows the gendarmes demonstarting how dangerous that speed is by doing 140mph in a Peugeot 307 The M3 is probably safer than the peugeot at half that speed!
Note: not fixed cameras.

He handled it all wrong, why did he stop? He should have waved his passport at them and put his foot down. Who are the French to presume what speed we can do on ground that, had it not been for allied intervention, would have been German!
