That certainly what I recall - Brits and Dutch drivers used to routinely hammer it down through France so no surprise they received tickets. Though I was stopped once, at a peage, and had my passport ‘seized’ while I went to a cash machine to pay get cash for the ‘fine’ when cars local cars going the same speed or faster were not...but that’s the risk I took.
Speeds are much lower than they used to be on french motorways though, a trend that I first noticed about 5 years ago. At that point 160km/h didn’t make you the fastest car on the road; nowadays, sticking to the limit, there are few cars that pass. Not so in Italy mind you...
