• Anyone who breaks the speed limit on Italian motorways is liable to get caught as traffic police are now allowed to calculate a driver's speed at motorway exits by examining his customs certificate. This shows the time and place he entered the country so the police know if he has been exceeding the limit of 140km/h.
In France, traffic fines are virtually double what they were last year. Parking offences cost between 75 and 230 Francs. Drivers who break speed limits or fail to stop at red lights or stop signs have to pay even more — between 1,300 and 2,500 Francs. Foreign drivers have to pay a down-payment of at least 900 Francs on the spot. Verkehrs-Rundschau, July 19.
