Whoops...

Just returned from a weekend break in France, I have a distinct feeling that I may have picked up a speeding ticket (flashing camera was a hint), I am not a habitual speeder and have a clean license.

My question is, can the French endorse my license with points?

Any advice would be welcomed..

I would fine anyone who calls a licence a license a bazillion Euros.

They can't give you points, and assuming you were driving a british car, you won't even receive a ticket.

LOL.

Just to check I'm not being dense, am I correct in thinking that you are licensed to drive and that a driving licence is evidence of this?

You are correct. S is the verb, C is the noun. I practise law, and therefore my business is a legal practice.

When you advise somebody on a point of law, they should take your advice.

Not forgetting your advice on speelung which is more gospel than legal.

Hmmmm; I'm not sure about that capital P after a comma.

It's likely that some folks will have wanted a P (please, Bob) following a Commer like this.

In some countries, such as USA, both uses are spelled "license".

One presumes that, if an American visiting Britain were caught spelling the noun form as "license", you would impound his keyboard until he had paid the fine.
The question is, if the spelling offence had been detected only after the American had left the country, would you be able to put points on his licence to post?

Why is it that we can speed with impunity whilst abroad and many on here revel in that, yet should Johnny Foreigner dare to do the same over here, then the same PHers get all frothy mouthed?

[anonymous-user]

Because reasons.

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.
English Teeth, Happy Teeth!
Always having fun
Clamping down on bits of fish
And sausages half done.
English Teeth! HEROES' Teeth!
Hear them click! and clack!
Let's sing a song of praise to them -
Three Cheers for the Brown Grey and Black.

I did have to laugh the other day when leading up to the Port of Dover is a 40mph limit with average cameras. I was one of only few that slowed, ironically only the ones on English plates did so.

And how were you with obeying speed limits once over the Channel?

I missed one where it went from 130 - 90, but as soon as I realised I slowed down. I cant be dealing with being escorted to a cashpoint etc lol
