Peage Rouen - Alencon ??
Discussion
Odd question but anyone on here know when the Peage from Rouen - Alencon is likely to be completed.
We saw workings in progress last August on the way home from our summer hols, and Mrs thestag wants to know if we will be using for getting to our summer hols this year so she can plan somewhere to stop over...
+ it will be useful for getting to Le Mans this June as we have opted for Dover Calais crossing.

December 2005 according to : Autoroute de Liaison Seine-Sarthe : www.alis-sa.com/
Although the old N138 has served up some memorable moments such as 170 on a single carriage road but it won’t be before time.
When I was in that part of the world in late October there still seemed to be a lot to do but let’s hope so.
The run down is never a problem and only adds to the fun but the haul back on Monday can be a real pain in the neck.
So assuming the new road is now done what do reckon would be a Pistonheads sort of time to do Calais to Le Mans which is about 250 miles or so? Lets go with 2 ½ hours

You always get lost in Rouen too, I see.
Ah yes! What trip to Le Mans would be complete without disappearing on the Autoroute out towards Caen rather than the N138? It will be interesting to see where the new road will join up at Rouen.
I think I would use the N138 to go down on none the less, at least there are plenty of little watering stops along the road as only the car is air cooled
Not long now, just got to try and get the 'De T' in a fit state for the run
Having just returned from the Moto 24hrs last weekend, The autoroute is no where near complete.
The downside to the N138 is that we passed at least 3 permanent scameras, none of them are obvious, and the one on the approach to Gace will catch a lot of people out.
The Scameras are popping up all over France like a rash, and the websites are not up to date.
So remove those front number plates....

Now how Legal is that, Im all up for it, just dont want to be pulled over and rollocked for trying to be clever???
My front numberplate got removed after a careless piece of parking. I kept the bits of numberplate in the car, but didn't replace it. 22 months without any problems so far.
If only I could find a way of "accidentally" obscuring the rear plate...........
Fortunatley I'll be in my Caterham, and so the excuse "It fell off Officer, honest!
" may suffice...
Seriously though, I believe the French can pursue the English for speeding offences as of (IIRC) end of 2004 - but - there is no incentive for the French to do this as any fines are kept by the local agency/constabulary to the offender.
Any legal people out there care to confirm this to be the case?

I drove my old Pantera with US plates in France for over three years when I was living there. I got stopped fairly often because I had no front plate. I showed my US papers and they inevitably let me go with no further ado. But that was because there IS no front plate in the particular US state where I had my car registered.
It might be different if your car wears GB tags - they know that you are supposed to have two plates and might not be as understanding...

I had no front plate on my 911 for last years Le Mans trip and had no problems whatsoever.
Well, other than the port police in dover telling me that they weren't allowed to let me on the ferry with no front plate attached. Eventually i convinced them i would fix it back on the vehicle while on the ferry, and they said i'd better cos the French police would be waiting in Calais and they'd arrest me when i disembarked if i hadn't re-attached it!!
Needless to say, every gendarm (sp) i saw had a good look as i came past but none tried to stop me.
Don't take it off till you're on the ferry tho!!!
