Funny you mentioned because the policemen in eastern europe are some of the worst categories in the country.
Their only chance to have a normal salary is to get bribes from speeders like AtW. No wonder I have never seen a policeman in eastern europe, they are all on the motorways to bribe on fines.I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

We got stopped a further 5 times while there... my wife got an on-the-spot fine for crossing the middle white line even though we hadn't seen the village sign - apparantly it had been taken down but it didn't stop the police setting up a blockade pulling over every other car.
Kerchingggg!
Surprised they haven't tried that here. Oh yes, they have.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

That's incredible, infact hard to believe.
You travelled 4500 miles in a TVR and it didn't fall to pieces. Do the Guinness Book of records know about this?Comment

Yep it's true. Surprised the arse out of me.
And did it in 2 weeks. Managed a top speed on the autobahns of 170 mph before the missus woke up.
With the roof down.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

They only stung me for 2 quid, but I was with a couple of Czech friends. Usually you can bargain the Czech police down to nothing, as if they realise they are spending a lot of time with you and you are not going to pay, then they will move on to the next foreign mugComment
