I don't know if anyone else has fallen fowl to this purge, but during my return journey from the UK to Limousin last week, I managed to pickup two speeding tickets for marginal infringements, both on the urban motorways around Paris, and within a short time of each other. Apparently, the police were enforcing the policy where 1kph over the speed limit is an offence, ie 111 in a 110 limit (it’s on the ticket). As I’m sure everyone knows, the major roads around Paris are labyrinthine and busy, and as well as the demands of self-navigation, there’s much lane changing, constant braking for the inevitable ‘bouchons’, and of course motorcyclists overtaking on both sides. You need to keep your wits about you, and preferably have eyes in the back of your head, so I’m curious to know if the Parisian police really believe that road safety is best served by forcing motorists to obsessively watch their speedometers. If the authorities are serious about an absolute maximum speed, perhaps it would be better to have lower maximum of (say) a 100kph and allow the motorist a little more leeway. The current 0% leeway begins to look like a transparent attempt to generate revenue.
