Unfortunately the 14 day rule doesn't seem to apply to France - lots of stories out there of people getting fines through 6 months later

I am back over next week for another run around - I did notice that a few of the burned out ones were still around be interesting to see if they are all repaired .

As Alistair says, no Notice of Intended Prosecution within 14 days in France. Timing varies according to workload etc.

Give it a year, Stan. They don't always use a French letter when they are screwing you.  John

i think i'll be ok John as the speed camera was an old fashioned square box and not a modern pillar type....but maybe with being an old type they might take longer to develop the film..

after being caught last year i now budget an extra 40 euros for my holidays  ... - .- -.

I keep 90 Euros in cash in the car specifically in case I get a roadside stop.

Not sure if things have moved on, but the fine used to be required in cash and no cards accepted - though they would escort you to a cash machine.

A receipt was always provided - and a form that seemed to take an age to complete

+1 for keeping euros in the car for fines and still fine free from last trip - I am getting good at this

On my September trip I reported being saved outside of calais by Waze.

This trip saved twice by Waze:

Again the first was hiding by a bridge pillar with the speed gun, and linked to the next ‘ payage ‘ where there were half a dozen taking the money.

then another 30 miles on, a couple of bikes and a few hangers on hiding on a slip road. Pulled a Brit van.

On a Sunday in the pouring rain They should be sleeping off Sunday lunch  Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

If you guys venture into Luxembourg (the country) be aware that they have had a major speeding crack down this year. Back in march/april they put up a load of pole speed cameras on the touristy areas (roads along the rivers etc). Some are not easy to spot.
Fortunately they have detailed all their locations on a web site, so a quick google will find it.

This site is worth a look at before a trip:
