“A black Mini, at 52 km/h, it’s coming towards you“, warns on the radio a motorcyclist, equipped with a pair of radar binoculars and parked along avenue Daumesnil in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes. The police officer warns around ten other municipal police officers, gathered a little further away to intercept offenders as part of a speed control operation.
Sanction for the driver of the Mini: withdrawal of one point from the driving license, and a fine of 135 euros (reduced to 90 euros if paid quickly). “Here it is limited to 30 km/h, like the majority of streets in the capital, explains Brigadier Zenon, between two whistle blasts. Speed for cars, bikes going through lights or driving on the sidewalk… We try to regulate all that, it involves a lot of education. We cannot fine everyone.“
