    European Driving Laws

    Some handy info, care of Halfords:

    Welcome to the continent – You’ve just broken the law! Our research shows that thousands of Brits are unaware of new continental driving laws. For example, six out of ten (59%) Brits travelling to France aren’t aware of new laws which come into force on 1st July, making it compulsory to carry two NF approved breathalysers at all times. Failure to do so results in an on the spot fine.

    Have a look at our infographic to find out about some of the driving laws you may not be aware of.

    Have you ever been caught out by one of the following?
    Some people are only alive because it's illegal to kill them...
    "Don't make me write your name on my shit list!"
    Your lips are moving, but all I hear is 'BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...'
    "I don't have ADD, it's just... Hey look! A squirrel!"

    Random. Do you ever leave your job at work?

    I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.

    In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
    They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
    It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.

    Handy info for anyone travelling to France in a camper van in the near future
    Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
    teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

    SJ you triangle playing camper- right here is me being mature and not giving orifices shit. I too have a camper and too travel to France a LOT. Get your breatherlysers in the first supermarket you get to. They will only cost you about 1.50 euros. It is true you can't have sat nav with camera alert. Simply keep your Tom Tom at a lower height. They really aren't that bothered. To prevent any action with the gendarme throw your hi viz jackets over your front seats.

    Dahling, I don't know where you get this whole triangle thing from, I was never clever enough for that - pink oboe all the way for me (as anyone from here who has met me will attest to, no doubt)

    Thanks for the tips and advice though, although I have to say that I don't own a camper; some sound advice there for someone though and probably money saving too.
