You know the answer is simple...  :police:

With an initial trial of only 20 cars over the entire country, under normal circumstances, the chances of being nicked this way seems pretty low.

But... speeding on autoroutes around LM on race week has never been a smart idea. The density of Gendarmes and Police is exceedingly high and most of them will be hiding by the roadside with their hightech hair-dryers.

On the plus side ... the obligation of having an alcohol tester in your car should be gone by now.

So, I can leave the wife at home then? ;D

I did read somewhere it was only a temporary reprieve, this is the most upto date Info I found doing a quick search.

What new law will it be next year I wonder  ::) , it seems like every year I've driven to Le Mans there is something else to buy.

I'm guessing only people driving a Peugeot, Citroen or Renault can cross the border  ;D
