Travelling - Speeding

Pretty sure that's an urban myth...

What les flics most certainly do is park the radar/car where you can't see it (which is why most people are unaware of them), clock your speed as you pass and then radio your number through to their buddies who are waiting at the next peage - 5 or 10km ahead. The last peage before Calais, coming back, is a prime spot and you regularly see them there pulling cars from the queues.

On the spot fine, as Tony says, and if you haven't got the cash they escort you to the nearest cash machine - which can really spoil your day if you've been hooning up the autoroute to catch a particular train...

Ok... 's easy...

Here's the link to the flickr page for one of your photos, placed between URL tags...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/34951507@N08/3253284148/in/set-72157613318622137/

Visit that page, and then right-click over the image and select "Properties". You can get the address of the image, which in this case is this...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3462/3253284148_caf85f8bf0.jpg?v=0

If you then put the above address between Img tags (instead of URL tags), then the image displays like this...

Lynn - you'd placed the URL of the flickr page into the img tags; I've swapped that with the URL of the image from that page... hope it's the right one!
