No answer ? Has your fine gone ?

Google translate app is fantastic just point at the document and read it in English ,simples

Can you tell me more, I've used Google translate but only by the keypad. Do you mean point camera at document ?

yes - the camera does a live translate of the text - and you select the boxes the camera identifies and the translation pops up clever.. eh!

Brilliant, just had a play with it. Never knew it could do that

 

[hilldweller]

Chris, you were clocked by a fixed roadside speed camera. They are heralded in advance by a prominent warning sign with the word "RADAR" and some symbolic waves. The camera is in a big grey box with hi-viz stripes..

I guess this is your go at diplomacy. Less typing if you'd said "go to Specsavers".

 

[hilldweller]

For anyone who hasn't met her, take it from me you could not meet a nicer person

This sums up Frankie...............

Errrr...... Nope ! I'm on Brigitte Bardot Solex... A JJ's fantasy! He's ever so jealous , my Dad played Babyfoot( sorry don't remember the word for that game , may be Mini foot?) with her. He was with the cinema team in the same hotel than her!

Nuke them from outer space

 

[chris burns]

Right , I managed to have it bigger and as Chaser just said Parcoto services gave your name to the authorities. So ..no more hope about having them paying for your fine (mind you ..I would have been really surprised!)

So what I suggest as the whole process is in French , I will pay for it. I'm sure DIL will pay me back !
What do you think of this solution? Easy peasy?

NB : you have 46 days starting on the 17/07/2017 and it will still be 90 euros

Hi guys sorry for late reply been a manic week, thank you all for the advise on this, and especially Frankie (you really are a lovely lady) I will private message yourself. Again thanks guys for all the help - and believe it or not I was actually driving so slow that day I can't even believe I went over but lesson learned !! Enjoy the weekend guys and see some of you at the next show

Oh yes she is.......it's called petrol, you can buy it on the road as opposed to finding a 240V plug socket......

Just use the details and make sure it WAS YOU in that car at that time. Hire companies might have passed the wrong details. They normally just pay it and charge as the fine is sent to the owner registered to that vehicle not the driver, they do not normally pass the driver details on , just pay it. Check the dates.

Not to worry , everything is clear . It will soon be paid, waiting for another scan with special number to pay. Chris and I are in touch. TA!

Amicalement

It's possible the change of EU law in May now requires the drivers details to be passed on ???

I would imagine the Entente Cordiale will wane when we say tat ta to our neighbours across the channel and again we can stick two fingers up at their speed camera fines.

Members of the jury, I ask you to consider anything this witness says as pure imagination or downright lies. In his written statement he clearly wrote "ebike". As I am sure you all know, this is an abbreviation for "electric bicycle" but now he attempts to insult your intelligence by proposing filling an electric bicycle with petrol when it is obvious such an endeavour would result in a conflagration that would destroy anyone so stupid as to do this. I rest my case.

And so it works in reverse I guess

I would imagine that the French being the French, they have always ignored anything fine wise issued by the UK authorities and stuck two finger up that's if the inept UK authorities have ever sent anything out.

Ah ok I didnt know that . Do you have first hand knowledge of this . Also a bit insulting to the nationality of one of our most helpful members

I've had enough to do with the French in the past to know what their general opinion on any authority is whether to be French or UK.
As to insulting to the nationality of one of our most helpful members, please elaborate as I'm unsure if your referring to a MotorhomeFun member or and EU member.

Oh dear, dear, dear me.

Does it always have to be like this?

Bit confusing.......OP caught speeding ....why question if the fine could be ignored?....... anywhere

I've done it (speeding), most of us have...........paid the fine (and points here)........

My son yesterday received 2 tickets for speeding in a hire car in Mallorca 2 x 100 euros, no points - 50% discount if paid in 20 days (he can pay on line).......his fault, not 'theirs'..........careless/bad luck ?.........doesn't matter...pay up

 

[SuperMike]

my Dad played Babyfoot( sorry don't remember the word for that game , may be Mini foot?) with her.

Was it Bagatelle ?

I can remember playing that (I think) about 50 years ago on an exchange school visit with a school in France. The son of the family I stayed with had a lot of mates, all with Solexes, Peugeot etc. mopeds; I was lent a Solex while I was there and we all used to shoot off to a field somewhere with the bikes and a football & have a game while riding the bikes. How we never got killed I will never know! I'm sure it was called babyfoot. Love to bring a Solex back here, but all the hassle of registration, tax, insurance etc it's probably not worth it. Back then, and it still might be the same, you just bought it and rode it. Much simpler!

No.

It was Table Football (aka Bar Football).

No actually.

Because of differences in the relative domestic laws I don't believe we are able to chase errant EU motorists once they have left the UK

I think you will find that you are able to but choose not to.

Nothing to do with the (wonderful) EU.
