We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Lobster saying something like:
Possibly; who knows? He certainly had to prove he was as good as any two-eyeballed git in every way.
Guys,
I just got back.
P&O are handing out leaflets at Dover:
"New French law from July 2008
"Warning Triangle and Reflective Vests:
"Motoring law in France .... now requires all vehicles to carry... Reflective vest, for drivers AND passengers, for use in the event of breakdowns and emergencies"
The French law at
"The CISR has decided that the drivers of all vehicles* must have a security jacket and a warning triangle"
The asterisk links to...
"*This affects all drivers of cars registered in France as well of visiting vehicles. It does not affect vehicles with two or three wheels, nor quadricycles with no body"
They then add
"Sanctions from 1st October 2008" "From this date, breach of these regulations will count as a breach of the 4th class (major fine ?135, minor fine ?90)"
- So P&O say you need one vest for the driver (true, but not until October) and every passenger (untrue) and for motorcyclists (untrue).
And they are IIRC £8 in *their* shop.
Since they lost us a total of 2.5 hours in delays and (unannounced) schedule changes we'll probably go elsewhere next time anyway!
