Previously, drew French speeding car drivers still le middle nger in the direction of our NATIONAL, but there is a december happy changed. Maarre, how about the rest of the European badges, are now also recognized?

Minister Van der Steur of Security and Justice has the room informed (read here) about the situation regarding cars with foreign license plates in the Netherlands are flashed. Since last december, and is also France to the growing list of countries have been added whose inhabitants simply Dutch post (sounds like that) if they commit a violation. Beautiful so, love must come from both sides.

According to the minister, there are in the meantime more than 19,000 fines sent to France. Beautiful things, but are those envelopes just in front of the fireplace thrown, or count the French neatly?

That is unfortunately a bit disappointing. In 2014 sent fines (206 pieces, but still) is just to 34.5%. Small reminder: these fines are of course only in december sent, so who knows, maybe the rest later soon paid. About 2015 (until 9 april) 18.968 fines sent out, of which a staggering 13.3% was paid. Mon dieu!

About the rest of Europe we can be brief. The cameras only recognize license plates from Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, and therefore France. Van der Steur has, however, expressed the wish that soon also Polish hardrijders the sjaak. Seems to us not a crazy idea.

The figures for the countries mentioned (fines + inningspercentages) are as follows:
