| Unfortunately, the French seem to have adopted a 'grass is greener....' approach to traffic control: Hence the rush to adopt anything the Brits do - i.e. speed cameras, and blaming all traffic accidents on excessive speed (it was all blamed on drink driving until recently...). They have become much stricter on speeding, with the consequences increasing in proportion to the extent by with the speed limit is exceeded. As soon as the limit is exceeded by 50kph they become rather nasty.
As was the case, most radar traps are set up at, or near, villages, but they seem to have been more prolific these last few months....... so far I have only seen radar traps on the motorways & A roads (famous last words...) |
