Legislation

Jail for speeding in France

50 km/h over the limit and you go to jail

EU countries suspend the driving licence when you go 50 km/h over the speed limit and you get a fine, but now France is the first to double the 2025 ticket and add up to 3 months of jail time.

In 2025 the ticket was at a maximum of 1500 euro and 6 points on your permit, now the felony will be written on your record.

And you can say “au revoir” to your licence/permit (up to 3 years).

Your vehicle will be seized.
