European driving scare stories?

I've book my holiday and I'm going to France camping in August, same as thousands of other Brits I guess. We will be driving down with three other families. This got me thinking about the Euro breakdown / accident cover. For peace of mind I will take it out, I'm not expecting any problems (my car will be three years old and about 48k miles) but I wondered if anyone has ever had to claim. As a kid I remember my dads Rover SD1 breaking down in France but it was an HT lead and after clipping it back in everything work fine, but I was also told of a friend of ours who wrote off his Sierra in the south of France.

Anyone got any scare stories?
