Take voiture cheap motor insurer says with a pinch of garlic.
This cheap motor insurer thinks they've discovered 1 good reason why we should be listed on our passports as French nationals. Only 1 mind. And that reason is this. Then cheap motor insurers will hopefully stay £260 quid better off. So, if you're knowingly travelling through France sometime soon, beforehand you may wish to alter your passport photo ever-so slightly. And obviously ever so-illegally. Just draw a beret atop your head or something, add one of those amusing Gallic moustaches, and doodle some onions around your neck, and as a cheap motor insurer on a mission, you should be alright. Oh, and if your names Jack, loose the 'k' and replace with a 'ques'. If you're called anything else, I guess this cheap motor insurers best advice would to be to drive within the speed limits. Ahhhh..une clue. Indeedy. Always useful to be in receipt of when reading these purported cheap motor insurance articles.
That's right mon tres magnifique ami's, France , land of good food, good wine, yet a rubbish football team, is having something of a strop with regards the English. So much so, that we could find ourselves minus la voiture should we rub our continental cousins (yours, not mine) up the wrong way. You know the script; one minute your driving down le boulevards, pointing out distant vineyards and French-looking people on bicycles, without a care in the world, the next your cars been confiscated and your on shank's pony. And why exactement? Because the French government this week decided that the gendarmerie can stop, and seize tourist's vehicles that are caught in speed traps. Unless of course the hapless driver forks out 375 Euro's. Or approximately £260 pounds sterling in real money by way of a fine, and accept a stern ticking off and much finger-wagging histrionics by those of funny uniform. France, aswell as having vineyards and street cafes, boasts 1500 speed cameras, and tourists from Britain, Germany and Spain account for 15% of the tickets issued apparently. Hence the French hierarchy implementing the changes so as to be sure to collect the revenue this produces. Foreign registered cars snapped by cameras will then be logged in a national database.
"We want to ensure equality between French road users and foreigners." The French Inter-ministerial Delegate for Road safety told someone who wasn't me earlier this week whilst I were sat at home watching Le Grande Frere. "At the moment, most foreigners caught by speed cameras escape punishment." he was recorded to having gabbled further. But it appears France are not alone. They should be, as they don't tend to make friends easily and are never sure who to back in a crisis/conflict, yet Britain too is being taken for a ride by those not native to our shores. £30 million is owed by foreign drivers passing through in both parking and bus lane tickets dating back to 2004 alone, in the aftermath of some 330,000 tickets being issued to foreign registered vehicles. Only 1 in every 20 being brought to justice the British way. And who should be the worst offenders? Le frenchies. C'est la vie is it not?!
