Might just have to take that expensive train after all....:(......


I love these specific quotes....


"foreign drivers account for 5% of traffic in the 27-nation bloc, but about 15% of speeding offences."...I bet you a few euros that the names on the court cases for serious injuries and deaths caused, are still nearly all of that particular country.

"During very busy periods as many as half the offences are committed by non-residents in those countries".

And as many here can atest to.......how can the French police resist the easily preyed on UK drivers heading to Calais etc to catch a boat.....its like shooting fish in a barrel.......whilst ignoring their own nationals......!

I guess this guy would have been a lot happier if it had only been a speed camera:
