Just to demonstrate that foreign-registered cars no longer get away with
speeding on the French roads, last weekend's figures just released for
the A64 motorway on the way to the Spanish border showed (in a 110 kph
limit area):

164 speeding violations in total, including 96 foreign-registered cars,
mainly Spanish tourists on their way home from a skiing holiday.

Those driving around 150/160 kph received fines of 750 euros payable on
the spot, licence confiscated, car immobilised until a replacement
driver is provided, plus a summons to appear in court.

Expensive ski trip!
