According to news source Les Echos, fines from speed cameras in France are expected to net €1bn in 2019 - a rise of 12%. And the extra fees for unpaid fines are likely to bring the figure closer to €1.23 billion.
The expected rise is due to an 80 kph speed limit being introduced on secondary French roads in July this year. Authorities expect the amount of penalties to be handed out on these particular roads to double.
