        How hard is it to fight a ticket - it would seem that a couple of mph is within the margin of error.

        Dress up in a german uniform and goose-step across the border - they'll surrender en masse. But what were you doing back in France?

        I have to pay 68 euros (instead of 45) and file my complaint. If it doesn't work, I still pay 68 euros. Apparently I was caught by an automated radar. Whatever.

        Tying up "loose ends". And getting a ticket, apparently.

          My license was taken away from me for not having insurance. After all their fees, I still have to prove to the state that I'm paying high risk insurance. I've never had an accident, just 4 minor traffic violations ONE FOR HAVING MY CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME WITH EXPIRED TAGS :mad: I couldn't afford insurance in the first place, so now they enslave me with higher costs. Of course I drove for months with expired tags and no license. Finally it caught up to me and I couldn't avoid the tow truck any longer, as I was driving out of my complex the tow truck pulls in, slams on the breaks, and yells "HEY HEY STOP!" They never got me and I have it safely parked now but I hate the system.

            Careful now. Just before my son was born I went from exactly 0 tickets or collisions in 18 years of driving to two accidents and three tickets in less than six months. My wife loves to remind me of this.

              Have they surrendered to you yet ? I got $200 for 61 in a 50 zone recently. Now, these zones have been 60 since time immemorial. They dropped the limit to book more people. ( that's kph BTW )

                                    4 km per hour is within the margin of error. It's ridiculous. It's also roughly half of 5 mph. That means they nailed me for 2 mph over the limit. Also 45 euros is about 60 USD, so double that and I got penalized in a manner consistent with your ticket. I'm not whining, I'm pissed off. There is a difference. And it's not the only idiotic thing France has done to me. There's list of stupidity about 20 pages long. This was the last straw.

                                        4 km per hour is within the margin of error. It's ridiculous. It's also roughly half of 5 mph. That means they nailed me for 2 mph over the limit. Also 45 euros is about 60 USD, so double that and I got penalized in a manner consistent with your ticket. I'm not whining, I'm pissed off. There is a difference. And it's not the only idiotic thing France has done to me. There's list of stupidity about 20 pages long. This was the last straw.

                                        What kind of road were you on? If in a built-up area with a school with a very low speed limit, then this 4km/h could be important. If not, the authorities are being somewhat pedantic. You mentioned "margin of error", that is a very credible defense. Reason, vehicle odometers are legally permitted (in Britain) a tolerance of +- 10% accuracy, unless you knew you were exceeding whatever the speed limit was, in which case, you are probably on to a losing wicket. However, long time no speak. How are things in general ?

                                          My license was taken away from me for not having insurance. After all their fees, I still have to prove to the state that I'm paying high risk insurance. I've never had an accident, just 4 minor traffic violations ONE FOR HAVING MY CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME WITH EXPIRED TAGS :mad: I couldn't afford insurance in the first place, so now they enslave me with higher costs. Of course I drove for months with expired tags and no license. Finally it caught up to me and I couldn't avoid the tow truck any longer, as I was driving out of my complex the tow truck pulls in, slams on the breaks, and yells "HEY HEY STOP!" They never got me and I have it safely parked now but I hate the system.

                                          Good. What happens when your layabout ass hits someone and damages their property? Do you have 10K in the bank to pay?

                                          Then you shouldn't be driving.
