French To Trial Drone Speed Cameras
Article by: rob brady
Date: 4 Oct 2015
The French government are planning to carry out an experiment using drones to detect dangerous driving.
They have also approved plans to introduce ten thousand fake speed cameras and five hundred real ones across France within the next three years.
This will quadruple "radar zones" in the country.
Commenting on the increase in road deaths in France in 2014 for the first time in 12 years - with indications that this year it will be even higher - the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls said: "The roads of France should not be a cemetery".

I wonder if the increase in deaths might be down to them banning speed camera accuracy data?

Of course not Denis, because extrapolating that information from their data would be counter-productive ;) #sarcasm

Having driven thousands of miles in France, I find their driving habits worrying. Not so much on the Autoroutes, but more on National Routes where overtaking approaching a blind bend or summit seems to be acceptable. No amount of speed cameras is going to cure that.

I'm surprised. In general I find driving in France far less onerous than in the UK. Yes, there are a few idiots that I've come across but I find there are far more idiots in the UK. Having said that I do tend to stay away from the larger towns in France ...
Where there's a will ... there's a way. |

I loved it driving in France - where I was, a traffic jam was three cars somewhere in sight!
