I better have a read of that then having two flashes marking my card.
Still not convinced this will apply, for the time being at least, to
brits, though.

There was a bloke at Wiscombe with a French number plate. Not a
French. Bike. Not actually registerd in France (though he tried using
a mate's address). Strictly an anti speed camera in the UK tactic. A
rather high risk strategy if actually pulled though. Couldn't do a
Champ by employing a convincing French accent. Probably a wind up
anyway.

Time to dust off the old longbow and start practising.

They've never come after me even after going through an obvious manned
speed trap way in excess of the posted limit.

Just chuck it back and say Des was driving if they do anything.

Not the last two times I have been. Most recent was two years ago
though. These days I sometimes take a perverse delight, as they are so
few and far between, in deliberately going past them bang on the limit
saluting the camera. Not a one fingered salute BTW. Seems to amuse the
natives.

Actually, I've just remembered (what delicious irony that TOG won't see
this.. hehehe) an article in (IIRC) _Libération_ about a month ago, stating
that foreigners who are nicked for speeding once and who don't pay it, will
have their vehicles immobilised, should they come back into France and get
stopped again (even if the second pull isn't for speeding).

I'll dig around and see if I can find a reference ..

Automated machine?

In which case no, they don't.

back)

1} TOG was flashed not pulled.
2) I thought it was impossible not to be made to pay on the spot these
days. Escorted to the nearest cash if necessary etc. ?

See my follow-up.

For a foreigner or for a Frenchman like me?

I _believe_ that it's discretionary.

What happens is, you get a plate made in France with your number on it. It
looks French, but it's your correct number. The hope is that British plod
et al think it's a French bike and don't bother. If you actually get pulled
up about it, the story is that your proper plate fell off in France, you got
one made in France to replace it, and you simply haven't got round to sortng
out a GB one.

How well this works, I don't know.

Ah. I see now.

This may help (in French, of course):

http://www.securiteroutiere.equipement.gouv.fr/infos-ref/regles/csa/faq-
csa.html#faq11

I think the first para is worded so that it gives you the impression
that the answer is "Yes" whilst telling you that furreners have a month
extra to reply. But it goes on to tell you which countries bilateral
agreements exist.

Reading that will give you the "real" answer for you, which is "No"
