The simplest solution is to pay up ( quickly) and take the fine. As a uk licence holder you wont have points awarded (or deducted if youre French - it works the other way round. Delay payment and the fine doubles. No protest will be entertained unless you pay up first. Since the "gilets jaunes" wrecked a large number of fixed camera sites the authorities have changed tactics. There are more and more "radar tronçon" (average speed cameras) and a new system coming on line which is mounted on a 4m high mast and can not only detect speeders but will also photograph mobile phone users or those not wearing seat belts. There are also more unmarked police cars patrolling with speed detection equipment. Overtake one at your peril!
