keep my speedo in mph and plead ignorance
they do on the spot fines there and without paying, you aint moving!
Do any police officers have a sense of humour?! I've certainly never met one!
Hi,Just back from France. In Calais ALL british bikes were being stopped and had to produce breathalyser kits and Hi-Vis vests. A lot of money being made by police!!! Breathalyser kits cost £4.99 in Halfords.

Yes, Halfords do the "nf" version for £4.99 for a duel kit. with Free P&P
I tend to trust what the AA say http://shop.theaa.com/content/driving-in-europe I tend to carry a hi viz vest everywhere now anyway. In a lot of countries you have to carry one in case of a breakdown.Also, if you are going to Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia and probably a few others, you need to buy a Vignette tax sticker even for bikes. €4.6 - 10 depending on the country for 10 days.I've done quite a few trips abroad and only been stopped twice, both in Spain on off roading trips. Once when I was on my own and got stopped, the copper saluted, said I needed a GB sticker, checked my documents and said bye. The other they pulled the whole group 2 miles out of Bilbao, said 'theez bikes iz for tee mountains not the motorways'. They said we needed mirrors and indicators, tutted, then said bye.
