Johnny Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I was in Cannnes last month driving a borrowed (French registered) car and got myself pulled at a roadside checkpoint. The result was a 35 euro fine which stupidly I promised the car owner I'd sort out myself. I then got on with my holiday and forgot to go to La Poste to sort it out and now need to make a payment to the Commissariat in the next 7 days. As far as I can see I can pay by personal cheque or timbre-amende. Obviously the latter is not an option now I'm back in the UK and my bank can't get me a Euro cheque in time.My choices seem to be to a) Order the cheque from my bank and exceed the payment period for the 35 Euro fine so have to pay double. b) send a sterling cheque which I can't see them accepting or c) send cash.This long winded post is finally getting round to my question: the paperwork doesn't mention a cash payment option by post. If i send money are they likely to accept it? Should I just take the extra hit and order a Euro cheque and pay double?I have found the means to pay online if it had been a speeding fine but my French is not good enough to search effectively for payment online of other motoring fines. Can anyone help?ThanksJohnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Can't you get the owner of the car to pay it (in your name) if you promise to reimburse?Of course, if you do nothing, then the owner will be fined..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 That would have been an ideal solution but he's in the UK until early next year and doesn't have a Euro chequebook either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Isn't there a way of paying such fines on-line? I'm sure that there have been references on this forum in the past to being able to do so ...RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Provided your fine has a Télépaiement reference on the payment slip, you should be able to pay it online from this site:https://www.amendes.gouv.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
