They shouldn't have made their motorways so good and so empty if they didn't want us to speed.Will work inside IR35. Or for food. -
Once more, the French do something proper where we just let off all the foreign registered vehicles caught speeding here.
On the subject of French drivers, I noticed that they are crazy and often do taligate you even when you're above the legal limit yourself, however unlike BMW morons in this country, they at least have the decency to try and blast past you at the first blind bend.Comment

There was very sharp bend on the motorway with a speed camera just before it.
It was night time and the speed camera was going off so often it was almost strobingCoffee's for closersComment

As a former Audi driver I quite fancy a BMW now.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

A study by the French transport ministry found 900,000 German driver, 550,000 Britons and 350,000 Italians are flashed by French cameras every year.The worst speeding stretch is on the A26 motorway which heads south from the ferry and channel tunnel in Calais: three-quarters of of all drivers pulled over for speeding on the 70-mile stretch of road are British in the summer months. It even has speed warning signs flash up in English, as well as French.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

BMW driver just don't indicate which is handy for knocking down children crossing roads or causing motorway pile ups. Turbo diesel drivers tend to be the worst behaved motorists of course many of those are BMW drivers too, including that ugly little one.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I've managed to reach 37 without owning a BMW, should I avoid them because of a stereotype?
