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.. http://www1.bluewin.ch/infos/index.p...031125:bwf007/ http://np.www.lci.fr/news/france/0,,...lEIDUy,00.html http://www.nord.france3.fr/semiStati...IL-279448.html |
What's that in MPH?
D. |
Just under 150mph
|
152.52 mph approx ;)
|
He was trying to escape :D:D:D:D:D
|
what's that in mph? Bouncing off the limiter ? Hmmm might need a route change for Le Mans 04 Deano |
Did i read that they've confiscated his M3?
Probably trying to get the indicators to work. ;) |
TAKE NOTE GAZZER AND PETE BONE !!!!!!!!! you have been warned :-)
|
Isn't that a better way than a 6month ban though ?
Take the five days as holiday from work ,pay your money, pick up your car on the way out and drive home ? |
And get buggered by hairy french men for 5 days - no thanks - give me huge fine instead of a huge hairy c0ck anyday
Edited to say: I've got my own so I dont want anyone elses :D [Edited by Scooby96 - 11/28/2003 2:52:17 PM] |
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 :eek: The M3 is probably safer than the peugeot at half that speed!
Note: not fixed cameras. |
I got done on the same stretch this August average speed 104.6 mph 90 euro fine and a long wait whilst ticket written out.

Blimey...which stretch of road was it?
We've been to Reims before and hit the limiter several times in top gear......won't be going again then.....least not in the scoob! D. |
If he was trying to escape he should have bought a faster car then:D
|
Hmmm they gonna catch on to camera plague :(

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! ;)
