You will have obstructed the police.

Let me get this straight, you think I would be arrested for preventing a
murder? Even pigs aren't that stupid.

You *did* see the word "if", didn't you?

I was assuming you believed it was.

???

My thoughts exactly. Explain yourself more clearly.

You could make a good start by seeking ocurrences of the word "if", above.

The relevant use is still there. When I use such a word, it is for a good reason.

Going to France is too common,

And there is no ferry to it from Hull.

my favourite country is Romania.
It has all the beauty of France but has not been spoiled by excessive
tourism.

Despite that, you might still be able to get Hofmeister and a vindaloo there.

Vindaloo sux.

I had a lamb vindaloo only last night.
Beautiful!

I think car alarms should be set of explode after two minutes.

Agreed.
They are a blight on the aural landscape and drivers should be shot
for not turning them off.

Please do not believe the ****e which Mason posts.

I understand that systems which detect the radar speed traps are illegal in
France; BUT not the Garmin which is just telling you of the locations.

If I am wrong - I would like to see something authoritative - other than the
musing of the ****wit Simple Simon

No, you are correct.

"Penalties can include fines of up to ¤3,000, confiscation of the device and of the vehicle."
I suppose I was lucky then - 700 euros and confiscation of the device but not my vehicle (if you can call a Renault that).

They probably regarded letting you keep a Renault as additional
punishment.

They don't like their own cars? They have plenty of them!

No you are helping a criminal escape punishment.

By preventing the crime, not moving it. *Twit. *READ what I write.

The police will prevent the crime of speeding for good by nabbing them
enough times to get them off the road where they can do the public no
harm. Warning them is obstruction, pure and simple.

No, they will nab them enough times to make them buy a satnav with a speed camera database - or at least that's what happened to me.

If you drive in France with it turned on, you will get fined for that.

So "please do not" is not actually a "****ing order"

Those "malevalent" agendas can be a right bugger.

Now, I wonder who had a go at Judith for spelling Justin Lewis name wrong?

Looks like quite an efficient mode of transport, especially in London.
Don't know about legitimate though ...

Isnt the bicycle the most efficient mode of transport in terms of
energy transfer.
