Well you will cross the Loire close to Saumur so why not stop and enjoy a glass of their lovely white wine!

Your licence won't last very long.

1st rule in avoiding speeding tickets - stick to 30 in a 30 limit.

Seriously, speeding in 30s is bad. I like to think that I have the moral high ground because I stick to 30s and 40s and ignore the rest Perhaps the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership (18 mobile branches in the North West) would disagree, but I try to be careful...

ok. i am not that bad really. i was a bit unlucky to be fare. i actually quite like sticking spot on the speed limit as i love it when you get into a NSL zone leaving the que of angry drivers for dead. brings a smile to your face everytime. its not big it and it aint clever. points don't mean prizes!

however every so often usually when i am running a little late i do put my foot down. however i am 100% alert and read the road ahead as far as poss. its when i am just driving around on auto pilot when i am at the greatest chance of having an accident.

the pictures look great. i shall be checking that place put for sure.

you'r a secret baseball hat wearing chav though iain nay luck on the points but sounded like a fair cop in both sences. Just watch out for the spot fines in France and keep it below 40km/hr over unless you are a glutton for punishment.

sverage speed detectors on the toll roads and i'm sure the cops have lasers too. they're coming down a lot harder, especially on uk cars i'm told. Hop over to germany to do the max speed runs or italy is good too.
