Thanks.
Don’t pay it.
I’m looking forward to the thread in a year’s time entitled “anyone know how to arrange bail in France?”, or “anyone know how to get a car out of a Police pound in France?”.
Don’t spoil what could be a ‘gold’ thread.

I was flashed twice in France back in May on a motorway where they'd coned it down to single lane both ways, looked like they were widening the road.
No camera warning signs, neither of us in the front saw the first flash but the other was at a very low level.
We received two 45 euro fines a week or so after our return and paid up. What with peage motoring in France is an expensive business.

Disagree with above, say you go back to France at any time.
If you've not payed fine, then they catch you with same reg, you're going to be fecked!

I dont think that is relevant as I took it that the op was asking what would happen if he doesn't pay not disputing the ticket. Being an island I believe that customs at the ports should be automatically linked and notified of fines to foreign registered vehicles and if unpaid by the time of departure at the port the vehicle should be impounded.

Leave paying until 1st November and €45 will be worth about 45p which makes the speeding a bargain

A Gallic shrug accompanied by a curt 'Non' should help in clearing the matter up.

Default on non barrier roads went down from 90km to 80km. Being French they got up in arms about it and it’s now probably going back to 90 in the near future.

That's mad. The Spanish police are quite on top of these things and normally provide a clear set of account details the accused can send the fine to.
Sounds like he did Paya Banka
You`re that confident the pound will increase in value !!

I marsellie, this sounds like he should just pay up. What has he toulouse.
The French police are normally quite nice and don't make you wait toulon to get it all sorted.
Sure, the process angers some people but they caen only do their brest.
Amiens, I say.

I think you might have got the wrong idea of how the exchange rate works !

Don't even go there !!!! No, I mean it, awful place to navigate and the place I picked up my only French speeding ticket.
Pay up. An easy online process.
I always have, whether the French speeding offence was in my own car or a hire car.
Some of the tickets were for not being at the immediately reduced speed limit on entering tunnels in The Alps. A fair cop, it was my transgression.
