THE ROAD TO LE MANS 2019

[Wattie]

What's the fine for 162mph?

Asking for a friend...

Beats my best ever......That is mental fast.
Surely that’s a license loser unless you’re on an autobahn

 

[Scaf]

oh, we know others risk higher fines, fingers crossed all will be good.
Only bills and statements for me today .......

It is, very fast. Glad I was only in a diesel BMW, unlike my friend

I think they award you the Legion d'Honeur.

I have seen ref to fines of up to €750 on one site and €1500 on another for speeds +50 kph over the limit, both mention confiscation of cars (but we are back home now, so no worries on that score).

 

[midlifecrisis]

Maybe Dan's 'friend' has to drive to the nearest French embassy and hand their keys over.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Relive the whole 24 hours, but please make sure that you are drinking expensive beer out of a plastic cup first in your back garden...

I just got a 67 Euro bill from Senef Tag, and a 30 Euro one last month . That's a bit steap is n't it ?

Probably includes your 'excesses' ;-)

Its a fact of life over here if you use the tolls as we don't pay road tax.
If I want to get somewhere quickly and stress free you use them.
Best journeys though are on the National roads.

Oh definitely agreed. Stevie P and I only used them last week to get in and our of St Denis quick, if we had more time then Route nationales would have been used...

A bit. Mine was 'only' £73.19

 

[Scaf]

Mine was £67.00 but I did pay one manually so similar to Marks really.

Still holding my breath over speeding fine dropping through the door.

I think you should be in the clear by now...

 

[Doohickey]

My toll bill is £85 but then I came all the way from Zeebrugge. Gone up a bit in the last couple of years though.

 

[philw696]

I bet you all had bigger bar bills

 

[Doctor Houx]

I drive to my place in La Chartre near Le Mans from UK most months. If taking the tunnel from Calais and using A28 most of the way there and back, about €60 is typical.

Much less if you come from Le Havre or Cherbourg at about €30 and if you use St Malo and a few N roads vs the motorway you can do it in abt 2.5 hours and no tolls. Ferry is not cheap during race weeks however so it's swings and roundabouts.

 

[zagatoes30]

Is it not about time this moved to Le Mans 2020, our planning is almost complete but we have taken a different approach this year

 

[Felonious Crud]

Is it time to go yet?

 

[2b1ask1]

I’m leaving now and taking Benny with me!
