I just got back from France day before new year, I new the last time I went they were slowing down speeding due to the police clamping down. This time I arrived of the shuttle got on the motorway couldn't believe nearly all the people were doing about the speed limit 80mph.
So I stuck to 90mph till I thought I would fall asleep on the long straight bits of the motorway so went up to my normal speed 100mph-110mph. Went to paris ring road thought they wont have slowed that much 55mph limit almost all again sticking to it so I took advantage of the empty fast lane wnt round 80-85mph.
Anyway when I was with at dinner in france chatting away to people they informed me there are speed camera's all over france, which unlike are system where there yellow and have lines they have no lines, and are beige and flash you from the front, plus found that paris ring road had the most. What surprised me the most was the tolerence, speed limit on motorway 130kph they flash you at 136kph more harsh than ours.
On the way home looked for them on th paris ring road dont know if anyone here has seen them there massive with 4 lenses to do all the lanes plus other motorway saw them there were a camera about every 100 meters and are so difficult to see. All in all is disapointing because now are motorway is faster than there's as I see alot of people on ours doing 90 to 95mph. And the day Europe decides they can send us the fine in England no more driving up to 120mph. I think they must have me on camera loads of times spent most the time on motorway between 90-115mph.
Would like to here from anyone else whos been lately, to see weather they found it the same!
