Just a little by the by.
One should be aware that if you get caught speeding on a roadside camera in France, you will get a fine. Under Agreements, the DVLA will pass your details on to the French Authorities. If you don't pay, then next time you drive through France an ANPR camera could flag you up with serious financial costs to be paid.
Like me, you don't intentionally speed, but I did get caught out very early one morning on a suburban road in the North of France, only realising a week or so later when the fine came through the post here at home in Torrevieja after my details from my Spanish Reg car were passed onto the French.
Foreign drivers caught on UK cameras are of course quite safe. As I understand it for some technicality of Law they do not pursue offenders!

By the way. I was gutted when I got the fine. My first ever offence and that was from 50 years on the road from my first motorbike, cars and Artic HGV Professional long distance driver ☹️
