DVLA / France tie up

[BennyD]

We hit well over 150 through the forest. Stu's screams still wake me up at night!

 

[Felonious Crud]

Post-Brexit referendum, isn't the mph weaker against the kph? So surely we can do 150mph and it's only around 120kph.

That's the excuse I'll be using, anyway.

 

[BennyD]

Here's hoping that Brexit will remove these tie-ups as we can't prosecute European drivers in the same way they can 'do' us.

Good old UK cash cow.

Can't we just go full stop exit tomorrow? Ok it would be caps for a couple of weeks but it would sort itself out soon enough. At the risk of upsetting CB we shouldn't pay another penny.

I admire your imagination... LSD or something stronger

What I don't understand is why we can't just adopt the European rule for prosecuting European drivers? It wouldn't be a difficult thing to frame in law I would have thought. In fact its easier for us, as the other countries associate the ticket with the car regardless of driver whereas we make it the driver. In order to get the EU rule to apply over here we must have had to put something in place to overcome this. Seems that its as much the fault of the lazy b**tards in Westminster as the jokers in Brussels/Strasbourg.

For us it should be easier. We are an island, no one leaves without the fines being paid, simples.

Not a hope. Brexit will screw many things but this won't be one of them.

Sadly the technology is there and they'll use it.

I did a few thousand miles in France over the May bank holiday weekend and I noticed WAY more cameras than ever before - many rear-facing as well, which is new for them, so my summer motorbike trips will have to be well-behaved too.

 

[Ebenezer]

What about Spain.....?

You can still be a hooligan ish in the mountains as there no mains electric up there for camera's,

Be careful though those Garda Civil b*stards on the bikes, and you definitely don't want to get involved with that lot!

A dodgy set of number plates is the way forward.

Hey guys, now us law abiding citizens are going to be pursued if we dare take our maserati to France. Such discussions on an open forum will make us all targets. You should never exceed 120kmh on the autoroute just to show you respect their laws.

I do believe you miss spelled "mph"

 

[Navcorr]

These garlic air fresheners will probably help. The US flag can only be a bonus too

Yeah, maybe it's not a good idea to put things publicly, but 120kph... are you needing to save fuel? Speed limit is 130 in the dry.

 

[Klive]

Super cautious

 

[Felonious Crud]

None of us is likely to exceed 130dB.

 

[MrMickS]

None of us is likely to exceed 130dB.

Have you heard the Frankenspyder?

 

[Felonious Crud]

Have you heard the Frankenspyder?

I'm pretty sure it won't break through the 130dB mark... unless FrankenBenny is talking at the same time.

Surely a standard exhaust would get the frankenhorn over the 130dB mark?
