Cassis Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The gendarmes are also VERY hot on drink driving at any Le Mans race weekend. Spot checks in town and around the circuit. Bear it in mind if you've had a few the night before and are driving the next morning. And they will have their mobile radar traps in operation so the GPS systems won't spot all the traps.

cooperlola Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Gendarmes have also now taken to setting up speed traps in the "Aires" so watch out for those 50kph limits when you pull of for a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Now that is really dirty tactics!!!Most people here know this already, buuuut just in case there are any drivers new to France looking in, if a car coming from the opposite direction flashes his headlamps at you, he most likely means there are gendarmes a short way down the road ....[;-)]Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
