130km limit. Luckily my passenger was insure to drive.
do you know what the legal process entails? Just a fine and a ban?

Rather odd this. They don't give you an on the spot fine and summons you.

Lewis Hamilton went to court in early 2008.
"The 22 year old British driver was caught doing 122 mph (196km/h), that?s 37 mph more than the legal speed limit in France, which is 80 mph (130km/h). Hamilton had his Mercedes town away, got a one month ban from France, plus he had to pay a 600 euro (£430) fine. However, the French policemen told the press that Lewis was ?co-operative and courteous?."

Last month several British drivers were caught between 194kph and 210kph and received fines between ?750 and ?2,250 ? their cars, including two Bugatti Veyrons, two Mercedes SLR McLarens and a Ferrari F430, were not confiscated.
Note: a Belgian city trader living in Switzerland was recently clocked at 245km/h.
