 [Independent UK] Gilets jaunes {Yellow Jacket} activists have reportedly destroyed over half of France’s speed cameras in protest against speed limits introduced last year.Up to 65 per cent of the cameras have been smashed, set ablaze, blown up, painted or covered with the yellow jackets that give the movement its name, The Times reports. The attacks began when president Emmanuel Macron’s government cut the speed limit on country roads from 90 km/hr to 80 km/hr in July. |

| #3 I would see no reason to live in that "Country". $8.50 a gal of gas. The Ruals have no "tube" to ride in the city. They are bankrupting France on some bullshit global climate change THEORY. All that money stolen is not helping anything Never trust commies Never trust Europe for Anything. But bail them out sometimes. |

| #1 Road revenue cameras. They rarely are placed in location like near schools where they'd do good. |
