My home address?
On the way down to Nice in the 3ltr turbo diesel Merc
(LWB Sprinter)
, forgot to put the seat belt back on after the paege routine, got pulled by a gendarme wagon
. OK, fair cop messysur le plod. Give the nice man in bleu all the usual papers, none of which has my current address listed.
Insurance and Registration Doc - Both list my company details and address, no personal details.
Driving License - Recently moved and not had time to inform dvdla yet, so old address still shown.
So imajine my surprise when, in exchange for my 22euros he gives me a receipt with my new address on it!! Je nes pas comprendez.
Any one give me a clue?
By the way, did not detract from the joys of French driving, nearly 1000 miles in 1 day (Oxford to Nice) including food and poo stops! in a VAN

Limited company directorship details perhaps? Man, that's bad if they did it that way via our UK databases.
Oh, don't forget that nowadays all our insurance info is accessable by the police and no doubt dvlc etc. Maybe your reg number/tax disc is all they need to check out your insurance. Does that have your home address on it?

boosted ls1- No paper work for the van links it to my home address, it all in my companys name and address. There must be some way the French can link into a UK database, (from a little berlingo van on the side of the motorway,)that knows the details on my Driving Licence are incorect. Quite possible I guess, just a bit surprising. I wonder what other info is available to them! Famous? nah Infamous-Maybe
