Beating North through France

I have just vacated the driver's seat after driving the last 400+ km, leaving Dicky to drive the final leg of our continental relay into Calais.

Just as we thought we had escaped the lunatic Italian drivers another one appears to scare the pants off every road user in the vicinity.

We have also come to the conclusion that the French traffic police are easily confused, as we went through a laser speed trap (just like the one in Austria (spit)) slightly exceeding the speed limit, but fortunately the 8 police men waiting at the péage toll pulled the driver of a black BMW. As you can guess we didn't hang around just in case they discovered their mistake.

Dicky has also been very popular with open air photo booths that the French have in the middle of their motorways. He has also managed to get the satnav to take us though Luxembourg, making it 10 countries in 6 days!
