Speeding in france

IMO don't take the **** in sleepy villages or ride at excessive speeds on the autoroutes and you will be fine. Sure there's a good chance you'll get away with it, but if you're caught then you'll be in a world of ****, especially if you're English.

When i'm home, i often ride fast throughout the countryside/twisties without any hassle.
