His driving licence came back in the post yesterday with a typewritten explanation. (First I have ever seen, normally handwritten in doctors hand) At 16.00 on the 10th August in Chartres Msr. *** ***** was driving voiture ******* according to blah blah blah
19 - 25 mph = €135
The next tier of fines is €1500
(90kmh) 132kmh
Msr. ***** cannot drive in any territories of Le Republic Francaise for 15 jours.
So a very lucky man and an expensive lesson learnt as it has cost him.
€135 Fine
€60 Extra night for 3 people in a hotel
€28 Supplementary charge on Eurotunnel for late change to booking
€12 Taxi charge from Chartres to hotel for spare driver
£230 single train ticket from Derby to Chartres for spare driver
£50 wages lost from part time job in the UK
Speed doesn’t kill, but it does zb hurt
