When we hit the road, we often do fear of being an outburst, and that’s perfectly fine, because that’s what speed cameras are for. But if you drive at the right speed, there is usually no risk of being caught. Well, here’s what we think. Because sometimes it happens that automated cabs actually do as they please, and we see a flash in the rearview mirror when we’re not sure we’re in good shape. Although this is fortunately not a very common occurrence, it does happen from time to time. And this is clearly not very pleasant for interested motorists.

Autonomous radar #Tonneau Charente which flashes ERROR from 80 km/h. (speed limited to 90)

Users who have to deal with the competition, others quickly paid to avoid a fixed penalty. We need to undo all of this quickly‼️@Prefect17 ???? pic.twitter.com/yozl0GBWwW

crazy radar

And that’s exactly what our colleagues from Avto-Moto magazine say a brand new case of crazy radar. The latter is located at the level of the commune of Lagny-le-Sec in the Oise and is installed on the national road 2. The speed limit here is 110 km/h and it is quite easy to comply with this rule. But within days, many motorists reported seeing the flash while driving below the speed limit, 100 or even 80 km/h. How is that possible? Probably, the radar was simply not set up correctly. But it caused panic among drivers.

No fines

They are afraid receive a fine and then appeal it, which takes a lot of time. But the authorities want to reassure, as explained to Le Parisien the prefecture of Oise ” the malfunction is caused by an “internal technical problem. Enlightened motorists will not receive notices of violations. “In addition,” The return of the radar to operation is planned soon“. When they will finally make this repair so that motorists are no longer fined for anything, we can only wait.
