pachapapa Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Navx have resisted the restrictions introduced regarding locations of radar traps, 6000 in france.The company claims that the measure has seriously affected their economic well being.The company contend that the restrictions were imposed without any any reports or enquiries being conducted to support the change.The company wiil appear this afternoon friday before the Conseil d'Etat the highest court in the french administrative court system.The constitutionality will turn on the "proportionality" of the measure in relation to the intended purpose i.e. the promotion of safety rather than making a wad of cash for a spendthrift executive.An immediate judgment by the court is unlikely and could take several weeks; evening media will almost certainly fill in the details.http://www.navx.com/fr/gps/radars/?gclid=CPOk4pnVga4CFVE8fAodtFGa4wGoogle Info current:http://goo.gl/7UHJd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgina Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think I might change back my licence. Since I changed my licence to a french one, I have had three speeding fines. Now the speed radars are set up on the motorways between 90km and 110 difficult to see the changes in traffic. But I wonder if there is a connection. will have to get a navx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, others appear to have found a way around it by labelling sites as 'danger points' or whatever so why can't they do the same ?The only winners will be the lawyers but what's new there !

Georgina Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 FunnyBut honestly not driving faster, or going anywhere different just getting caught more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardbk Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not sure what all the fuss is about.My radar avertisseur (Avertinoo on Iphone) continues to function almost identically as before. Still get warnings of fixed and mobile radars, just they are now marked as danger spots. You can even download a certificate saying it conforms to the new laws.

AnOther Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A strong clue is the speed of the traffic around you [;-)]On the motorway most cars seem to travel at or near the limit most of the time, if not in 130 zones then certainly in 90 & 110 areas, so if you find yourself overtaking anything other than trucks and obvious dawdlers it's always good to ask yourself why that might be ?
