    French speeding fine - guilty as charged?

    Dearest TZers

    Some of you may have seen my Bear Pit rant about an 'enjoyable' day at Disneyland Paris being compounded by being flashed by a speed camera on the way back. Well the fine landed back in Blighty yesterday....90 euro as I was doing 82kph (speed used 77kph) in a 50kph zone. Ouch.

    What has irritated me is that I was consciously sticking to the speed limits (or so I thought!). So, I present you with the evidence and invite you to be judge and jury - should I cough up the Euros, or try to appeal?

    The road was the N31 and I was driving into "Ons en Bray" doing ca. 80kph - here's the outskirts of town:



    oh here's the cheeky speed camera



    200m before the 50kph sign....sigh....



    I guess the question is: does the red boxed town name mean one is entering an urban area, and thus the limit is 50kph? Or is this a naughty trap by our snail eating cousins?
