    Can you answer a question about speed limits in la belle France? At
    lunch today we were at odds about when the 110kph when wet and 130kph
    when dry limits came into being? Also prior to that was it a blanket
    120kph limit?

    The 120 km/h limit, as in many industrialised nations, dates from the
    oil crisis of the early to mid 70s. The limit was raised to 130 km/h
    soon afterwards (1975 IIRC, but don't wager your paypacket on that
    date), and the speeds for wet roads (110 km/h on 'autoroutes' ("M'
    roads), 100 km/h on 'expressways', 80 km/h on 'nationales' ('A' roads))
    date from the early 80s.

    HTH.
