Sometimes we go too fast and get caught. Very often this is not even done on purpose, even if sometimes it happens that we slightly exceed the speed limit because we are late for a meeting. In this case, we are aware of the risks and we know that there is a chance that we will be caught. But either way, it’s never nice to come home and find a fine in your mailbox. Although this may change, for the time being the government plans to no longer deduct points for small overruns of less than 5 km/h. But this is not relevant yet.

TRAFFIC SAFETY:
I want to remove the deduction of points for exceeding the speed of less than 5 km/h and thus treat those who work with understanding.
Conversely, I want to disenfranchise drunk/drunk drivers because they are potentially dangerous.

Crazy new radar

But sometimes you know you’re driving at the right speed, but you still get a fine. This is exactly what happened to several motorists who were driving along the street D579 to Uils-le-Vicomte, in the department of Calvados. If she was forced back to 80 km/h by court order, this road is still limited to 90 km/h because it has two lanes of traffic in one direction. gold, radar still flashing at 80km/h despite the rules and the 90 sign placed a few hundred meters upstream.

Adjustment problem

As the website Radars Auto points out, this is likelyerror in settings automatic cab, and not out of a deliberate desire to flash motorists who drive below the limit. The problem should also be fixed quickly. But what about the drivers who received tickets by mistake? They must be reimbursed, but the procedure is generally quite long, especially for those who have already paid the fine.
