    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 )

      I believe nowadays they claim the speed they book you for is with a margin for error removed. I hate them.

              So, after 15+ years of driving with a perfect record - no speeding tickets, nothing, I get a fucking speeding ticket from France to the tune of 45 Euros for - get this - 4 damned km per hour over the limit. I also lost a point. There is no limit to my rage right now. I hate that country to the core of my being. Today, I make it my life's mission to obliterate France.

              Whiner. Mine cost $120 US dollars for 5 miles an hour above the speed limit. But I don't wish to take down a country for it. Although they did reduce it to 109 since I paid in cash.

              This statement is false

                          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.

                                  Nor, if he damages himself, does he have the 20K he'll owe the hospital. But not to worry, you and I will pay. Obama is on his side.

                                      I disagree heavily with forced insurance. Talk about TAXES! I've paid enough insurance over the last 24 years to buy a new car and never filed a single claim.

                                        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.

                                        I'm not saying you don't have reason to hate France. :) Just that considering my last ticket and your post it sounded like whining. ;) Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.

                                        But sure, I'll grant that.

                                          Ok ok, I concede. Speaking of the French, is there a surrender icon?
