France on the roads more than 4400 automatic speed cameras which ensure strict adherence to speed limits. It was distributed in 2021 13.1 million HP French drivers who are in too much of a hurry. And since they are not chauvinists and speak several languages, another 2.2 million were sent to our European neighbors!

Foreigners are as bright as the French

This is 14.4% “better” than 2020, a dark year for tourism but still far from 3 million HP sent abroad in 2018. However, in the meantime, France concluded new cross-border agreements with European countries (Denmark, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden). Always with the same goal: to be able to send speeding or red light tickets in the original language to foreign drivers flashing automatic speed cameras.

And vice versa. The result: bilateral exchanges now take place daily between France and the 19 countries of the European Union. The Principality of Monaco and Switzerland should be added to them. On the other hand, the agreement with Great Britain is void due to Brexit. As for tickets sent to countries outside the EU, this is the designation of French drivers or rental companies of foreign “culprits”. This great community support, so far limited to radar reports, should in the future be extended to pay fraud, made even easier by the advent of those with no barriers. The upcoming service, called Toll, will allow reporting services in each country to access Europe’s Eucaris information exchange system to track down free passengers in their country of origin.
