Two motorbike gendarmes pulled me in for speeding and I was charged 90 euros can you tell me please does one get points for speeding.  Reason I am asking is because although I paid I am not sure they were actually genuine, as I am sure if I was only just over the limit, plus the copy they gave me of the form just has on it excessive speeding and is nothing like the form a friend of mine received for speeding.

Hi  , i have been had for speeding a couple of times but was never stoped , caught by camara , i had the fine through the post , and if you pay within 15 days it is 90 euros , they allow you 2 kms over the limit  , if you have a french licence they takes points off , as they give you 12 to start with the opposite to the uk , if you have uk licence nothing happens , i think what i have said is right but i am sure someone will say if not .

My husband was caught on camera and had points taken off his French licence and fined.Before we had French licences our son was caught on camera in a car we had hired. So we were then fined but no points. Not sure about leeway

Meant to say thought you were correct

Does the form they gave you say how much you were over the limit?

I was caught on a camera in March this year 57 in a 50 limit. The form I got said you were ok up to 4km/hr over the limit. I had 1 point taken off my permit as it was under 10km/hr over the limit. I'd already lost 4 for supposedly not stopping at a 'stop' sign - don't get me started on that one! You get 1 point back every 6 months I think but if you google speeding and penalty points in France, it's all explianed

Yes it did.  It was not a lot but cannot rmember how much as it was a while ago. The fine was 45 euro
