Speed stickers - France

the argument that if it is legal in the uk then it is legal elsewhere is specious eg
don't try driving at 60mph on ordinary french roads
beecause it is legal to drive aged 17 in the UK and you hold a full licence doesn't mean you can drive in france !
I thought the golden rule was that you had to abide by the law of the country in which you find yourself

The C&CC have not set themselves up as "the authority" they clearly state their source.
It also explains why there is so much discontent, introducing new regulations without repealing old ones.
Only the French government can regulate, if they want to!!
