Ah the cross border enforcement directive

Fines follow you home if they are €70 or more - the low fine in France is €68 but depends on the limit you are in and the speed you are doing as an example

Still awaiting a few speeding ones from Germany last year.

I'm buggered if I knew how they did it! Obviously the French flic is smarter than the German Bulle who to this day measures your speed from the front without taking a piccie from your license plate

Damn inconvenient, if you ask me...
