Be careful if you go to France: you can get a fine by paying with your GSM at the toll booth

In a video published last Wednesday, which has almost 5 million views, a TikToker explains that he received a fine because he had paid a toll with his mobile phone. In reality, the police relied on the phone while driving argument. “I arrived at a toll booth, and the price was €25.90. I take out my phone to pay the amount in Apple Pay, and I pay. Instantly, I hear the motorcycle, and the flashing lights.” The police officer then asks him to stand aside in order to pay a fine of €90. He also lost 3 points on his driving license. Little by little, the story was relayed by many of our colleagues in France, and it gained momentum.
