and in Germany when you flash your lights it means people pull over. - because you're bearing down on them at double their speed.
Here it just means "I'm a cock in an Audi"
I had the good cop bad cop when I was pulled for no tax, MOT or insurance. having got all three that morning.
Good cop was happy I was legal.
Bad cop just wanted to find something and play the hard man as he must have been hoping for a good collar.
All other times I've been pulled over it's been fine. Done nothing wrong, no harm to come.
Managed to talk my way out of a ticket one time (oddities of the dual carriageway paralleling another but with 10mph less speed limit).
Only been done for speeding abroad so far.
In France I might as well have been raped. Lasered from a jolly good way away, lucky to keep licence, epic fine.
Ukraine, don't think I was speeding, just looking for vodka money. The selfie cost me a tenner

Cat and Fiddle.
Bikers keep getting killed so they put up a 50mph limit.
Then they put up average distance cameras. Front facing.
Oh, wait, bikes don't have frontal plates.
So bikers still ride like utter dicks, cars stuck at 50. No chance of an accident there then...
Double white lines must mean something different for the average sports biker.
