1st Gear
Am driving from Switzerland back to the UK on Friday, and have been looking forwards to the smooth, fast empty French motorways. It was always possible to drive at 100mph+ without any problems.
I heard yesterday (and verified it through various web-sites) that the French police are now rigorously enforcing speed limits. Drivers caught doing more than 25km/h over the limit are liable to have their licenses immediately confiscated and a 1 month French driving ban imposed, whilst drivers exceeding the limit by more than 50km/h may have their vehicles confiscated.
Just thought I would point this out in case anybody was planning to let rip on the French Autoroutes this summer.
