Shows a ticket for a speeding car. 118 in a 110 zone.

What does it mean about “la vitesse retenue est de :112 kph” ?

It means that it was recorded at 118, but, allowing for a margin of error by the apparatus of 6, the true speed is assumed to be 112. Therefore over the limit and therefore a fine.

I can’t read it properly but am slightly puzzled that the allowance is 6 km/hr rather than 5.

Thanks for that, Spardo.
In Pierrot`s post it shows 5% of 110 and 120 being about 6kph, so it all makes sense now I think.

Oh yes, of course, should have referred back to that. Doesn’t concern me because I never do more than 100. :smiley:
