Fine in France, points in UK
Discussion
Reports that Blunderkit is considering a French proposal that British motorists who commit motoring offences in France should have points added to their UK licences in addition to the fines levied in France.
I wouldn't bet against him accepting the proposal ... unless he realises there's no income for Mr Blown the Chancellor and that bans from totting-up will remove more revenue generators from British roads.
What's the betting too, that this will be a one-way system?
I recall reports that the french were "upset" that the Eur0st4r arrived in Waterloo. Let's call the new terminus Agincourt!

There's absolutely NOTHING the frogs can give you on your GB license YET. It's being discussed in Euroville, but must be approved by all 25 EU members if it ever gets to be law, so you've got time yet..... They wanted it to be on the books by 1.1.2004 but it got dropped for some reason.....
however they CAN ban you from driving in their country as do a lot of EU countries (D,NL,DK etc)... but again it has NO effect on your GB license.....

Einfach richtig! C'est vrai!
Why do you think we took our tests in Germany? And live "abroad!" The Frogs do the Swiss each time! They think it will improve our "sense of humour!" But then - the Swiss get their own back on them by hiding the scams in wheely bins! Gets 'em every time! You also have to look out for a carved Snow White figure somewhere around Luzern! New slant on "Hello Boys!" as lenses apparently protrude from her boobies! (According to my cousin! He had a few double takes - but was not copped!)
He's taken a few photos of it!
However, for those of you too and from Paris - nice little scam set up on way back to port! They know you will be wellying to stock up at the hypermarche before catching the ferry. Locals (and Swiss and Germans) know all about it! Johnny Foreigner gets done nearly every time!
Forgive me but I think there is always some safety in the distance involved and the language barrier. There is a fair chance that if you mess the UK system about enough they will lose the paperwork for a speeding fine. Deneying all knowlege to the Frogs and generally giving them the run around will eventually involve someone having to visit you. This is not going to be a priority for British plod and centainly not going to happen if French plod have to come over here. In addition they have to identify you. The reality is most races all look the same to another race. (this is intended as an observation and not a racist comment). The language barrier gives ample opportunity for much shrugging of shoulders and non comprendi stuff. It works for foreigners here. (No speak good eenglish, it was my brother and he is back in (.......). With a bit of imagination and some creative lying surely this particular brand of silliness can be rendered impotent.

Of course since the 1st of Jan the local mag could issue an arrest warrent for you, sending the local bobby on the next easy jet flight to blighty, knock on your door and arrest you. Carting you back in handcuffs on the return flight

Never in million years. For speeding? Even the French are not that daft. In any case they would need the support of local plod. It is just never gonna be workable. Nice theory though.

Well you obviously have a very high opinion of the way the police and civil service are organised. My experience of them is they are so burdened with administrivia that the interdepartmental cooperation is all but impossible to achieve. I hear what you are saying I just think it will take years to implement if indeed it is implemented.
Also Blunderkit and Bliar are not going to be there for much longer.

Yes yes I am aware of that. What I am saying is passing a law is one thing, implementing it is quite another, particularly when an army of tossers and a language barrier is involved.

The european arrest warrant has already been passed and in the mean time served on someone thanks to the egalitarian socialist swine in Shitehall. thanks again tony bLiar for nothing, you w*nker!!!!!
Any 3rd world EU country can now get you arrested althugh their laws are nowhere near EU standard, see recent greek cases, lorrydriver, planespotters etc.....

Was this for speeding?

I understood the EU Arrest Warrant was for serious crimes only. I know that speeding ranks alongside murder etc. but I doubt if it would be applied for this.
depending how lentilist they are methinks....... in the mean time in GB driving 5mph faster than a limit is apparently more heinous a crime than theft, burglary, beating old grannys to death etc..... scrotesville inc!!! thanks to bLIAR and co!!!!

Mmmmm now you put it like that its a bit scary. I think one of the questions on the civil service interview is "Are you a lentilist scumbag?"
