Editorial and corrections policy

A wrong amount makes people pay too much, or miss the reduced-fine window; a wrong recovery time makes a driver believe their licence is fine. Here is where our figures come from and what we do when one of them is wrong.

Responsibility

Radif Partners answers for every amount, number of points, deadline and calculation in the tools. A figure that does not match its source can be reported to contact@amendeetpoints.fr.

Primary sources only

the Highway Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, in their versions in force on Légifrance, and the decrees, orders and laws amending them;
the Service Public pages on fixed fines, the points scale, getting points back and speed limits;
the “Liste des radars fixes en France” file of the Interior Ministry, on data.gouv.fr (Licence Ouverte 2.0);
the administrative boundaries API to attach each camera to its town.

No figure is taken from a course seller, law firm, insurer or forum. A penalty we could not check against a text in force is not published.

The maximum penalty, never a forecast

For a criminal offence or a suspension we give the most the text allows. We do not predict what a judge or prefect will decide and promise no outcome for a challenge.

Checks before publication

The method’s examples, the bounds of every band of the scale and the payment deadlines are tests; an update that fails them is blocked. A camera file of fewer than 2,000 rows is rejected.

Update schedule

Cameras: every week. Scale: whenever a cited text changes; the texts are reread at least once a year. The reread date is shown on every page.

Handling errors

Checked against the text in force.
Parameters or code corrected, a test added.
New date on the pages concerned.

Independence

No commercial link with any course provider, lawyer, driving school or insurer. No sponsored links in the texts. Any commercial relationship would be stated plainly.
