The EU s Cross-Border Enforcement Directive will no longer impact British motorists after the Brexit transition period ended last month. This also means the end of sharing information about drivers who are caught on speed cameras. The new rules could be a huge blow to France as the country could lose up to €60 million from motoring fines in only a year, according to French motoring site Caradisiac.
