    Is it true that when Italian cars see a speed trap they just surrender?

    The strange thing here in France is that none of the French cars seem to have indicators, at least it's very very rare to see one flashing!!!!!

    They seem to work better here, at least the hazard lights do when they are sat on the hard shoulder awaiting the AA/RAC.;)

    Now then Inactive, I'll have a bet with you. Next time you travel a fair way up or down the motorway take note of any cars that you see broken down.
    I'll wager that they will be either Nissans or Toyotas,:eek: the drivers I'll not comment on;)
