Speeding ticket advice
A month after returning from an otherwise glorious trip to France I get a three-page letter saying that I was driving at 58km/h in a 50km/h zone. Then it says something about speed being 53km/h (la vitesse retenue est de: 53km/h).
Reading on, I think they are demanding a 90 Euro fine.
Has anyone encountered this? What is my recourse. What if I don't pay (I think I know the answer)?

Above 100, they subtract 5%.

According to this site, they subtract 5% from measured speeds below 100 km/h. Therefore your fine was for driving 53 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
Above 100, they just subtract 5 km/h.

:- subtract 5km/h below 100
