French Speed Cameras

[Sunnysidebb]

Its been quite a while since last driving in France hence...Has any one got the latest info on french speed cameras ie if flashed from a fixed camera does the penalty notice find its way back to the uk.

Secondl I have read that if stopped by a mobile speed camera the fine is on the spot..however I have read they can take your uk licence off you. Is that permanently or do they give it you get it back??

cheers,
frank
