Well, I've probably only driven the RS4 for a total of around 10 days due to working away, and already I have my first speeding ticket!!!

118kph in a 90 zone, I'm quite happy with that, could have been a hell of a lot worse, €90 on the spot fine, thanks Gendarmerie!!!!

Brilliant! At least you didn't get points like over here - I've been pulled over 4 times in the last year, every time it was 'just to check something!'

Oh no, you got cussed!

I've got my only ever points in the RS despite having other fast cars. And I also picked up a Section 59.

Good effort man!!!

Section 59: Vehicles used in manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance

(1) Where a constable in uniform has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle is being used on any occasion in a manner which-

(a) contravenes section 3 or 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52) (careless and inconsiderate driving and prohibition of off-road driving), and
(b) is causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public,
he shall have the powers set out in subsection (3).

(2) A constable in uniform shall also have the powers set out in subsection (3) where he has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle has been used on any occasion in a manner falling within subsection (1).

Thankfully no points given over here, only a cash penalty for the expats!!

Oh, and not RS related but it seems be an annual event now that I get done for speeding every summer in Cyprus. Luckily no points there, just a fine.

Yeah I got myself nicked three months after buying the S4. Occupational hazard.....

A small price to pay I'd say, €90, I can handle that on a regular basis, just think of it as a mini cash ISA without the benefit of being able to cash it in!!

For you it would be best to go straight to their French site. Full EU coverage already included and prices look better than in UK. Also a new model out recently. I have the old one - it's just brilliant.
