Most regulars must know by now that the days around mid-June are the days on which the French Police fill their coffers, yet it still amazes me that some seem to go berserk as soon as they hit the other side of the Channel.

Has nobody heard of the cruise control switch?
Is arriving at Le Mans twenty minutes later such a big deal?
