I received an official-looking email which I thought might be spam but then when I clicked on the link I discovered it was a speeding fine.
On the journey back from the Alps I was caught speeding near Lyon – only 9km over the limit – but speeding nonetheless.
As far as I understand it, in France you start with 12 points on your licence and then they take them off for various offences.
I should get my point back within four months – as long as I don’t speed anymore.
