Goldfish SPS in his mighty powerful Rover 25 83 bhp monster was the only one of our group to get nicked, in the slowest car !!
Where
The N138 south into Gace for overtaking on a white line.
90 Euro's lighter he was.

Saw two speed checks on the N138 but with the caravan there wasn't much chance of me speeding...

Two of our lot got done for the same thing in a similar area - the two that ignored the headlight flashing of the locals driving the other way! Gendarmerie held one passenger hostage whilst the others went off to find a bank :o

And who were the chaps getting nicked just outside Broglie while everyone else was sitting in the traffic jam Monday lunchtime? They were stopped by a dark blue unmarked hatch. One victim was a silver Porsche, can't remember the others.
Looks like the Broglie to Gace stretch is a favourite place for the Clouseau brigade - thats where there was a speedtrap last year, too.

We only saw 2 traps all weekend, just lucky I guess!!
The most exciting we got was the accident Thursday lunchtime which threatened to close the road south of Gace (cannot remember exactly where) I'm sure the nutter in the Porsche was responsible for causing 2 very surprised locals to crash while trying to go 3 abreast down the hill....

How do you get out of France if they take your passport and license? Do you have to get a new one when you get home?

I met two people that got nicked. One guy had to pay out 750 Euro for doing 110mph on the way down. The other was fined for not wearing a seat belt. It was not a big fine 45 Euro I think. I heard that some one was fined for "Accessive Acceleration" in Arnage.

There was one guy (in what looked like a caterham) did a burnout at Arnage on Friday lunch time and was chased 100 yards up the track. He managed to pull into the crowd and then 'disappeared'. A rather pi$$@d off policeman came to the car and took his camping ticket (Interior Musee) off the windscreen. The driver just sat on the fence watching (hiding). The police then set themselves up for a long wait near by.
We left shortly after that but apparently he ended up driving through the woods (out of sight of the police). In the evening I saw his car 'under covers' back in the campsite. He 'borrowed' a ticket to get it in. Not sure if he got fined though.

What a coincedence...I met this chap at Dieppe on the way home! He was telling me the story - apparently they hid in the woods for 3 hours.
He was in a Dutton kitcar...

Tip one Arrive on D Day, every Gendarme in the country, and his dog were in Ouistreham.
Tip two Drive a Peugeot
Tip three Tow a caravan
and spend the dosh on booze not fines
Le Plod de Vitesse Francaise had one of these new speed guns, that looks like a pair of binoculars, on the Argentan Bypass, otherwise no sign of them

Hi
Be careful in Arnage as I was the guy who got fined for excessive acceleration. I had not even got out of first gear and got pulled.
Got a fine of 100 Euros and did'nt realise until I got home that the crafty bastard copper had given me back all the parts of the ticket including his copy. Obviously the money went in his back pocket for his hols.
Have a good one
Paul

Had a scare between rouen and calis on monday return with a little golf police car hiding behind an embankment as I was approaching 170 clicks. Someone on other side gave me a flash, but I wasn't sure if it was a heads up, but luckily, the alfa in front heeded (I was using him as a pace maker) and we were dropping speed quite a bit as we came past them. :D
