[QUOTE="TOG@Toil"] Heh. Last time I got pulled for speeding in France, they tried that one on me, and I explained that I don't do cashpoints. That floored them. So they said that in that case they'd lock me up and impound the bike until the banks opened the next day. I shrugged and said: "OK..." because there wasn't any alternative. The two gendarmes had a brief confab and told me to fuck off. Way too much paperwork, I suppose. I suppose that being able to convince them that I really don't do cashpoints was also a key factor, so this approach might not work for everyone.[/QUOTE] # Ok, how do you convince them of that then ? Obviously doing it in French would help, I suppose. And pointing out that if they did escort you to one to use it, it could be imolied that it was robbery under duress ?
