I've had a couple of police encounters in the UK, but managed to avoid fines each time by using a strong french accent and by acting as a complete tourist (i have french plates)
- once I've been stopped on the M1 towards london, the guys seemed pretty angry, and I was scared because minutes before I was doing 200kmh (124mph). But he told me they caught me going 102mph. I was like "sorrie misteur officieur, how many kilometers per hour is that? Looke at mye speedo it display only kilometers (true) and I was driving at normale french speed"
They vaguely tried to explain me in the clearest language possible that I could have been taken to court, etc..., then they let me go
- the other time I was making my Michelins squeal around tight corners in the City district at night when I arrived on a police road block. They ran frantically towards me but when they realized that my level of english was terribly low, they just said "slow mister, slow", and gave up..

So let me get this straight...
(Removes Pin from Grenade and swings arm)
If I have a really tacky accent and appalling language capabilities and I go racing round the streets...
I may come up against a pre-pubescent police officer wearing a pony tail and a reflective jacket...
Who in the darkness cannot tell whether my shot of black hair means I am English, Irish or Japanese...
They will let me off with an ineffective warning in case their chips go cold...
(Swings arm and releases bomb)
Sounds like I am back in Liverpool...
