Is it possible to be banned if you mount up European-wide fines? Or is the tot-up per country?

Asking for a friend.  ;)

There are no points on your license for speeding abroad. As I found out in Luxembourg after a very reasonable €47 fine.

Yes, it may well have been €49 but still a bargain  ;)

Extract:
"For two years, the government has been implementing a significant programme of work to ensure the UK will be ready from day 1 in all scenarios, including a potential ‘no deal’ outcome in March 2019."

Google translation:
"For two years, the government has been implementing a significant programme of work bickering with itself to ensure the UK will be ready disadvantaged from day 1 in all scenarios, including a potential ‘no deal’ outcome in March 2019."

Perfectly clear...

...and a snippet on last night's 'Question Time'. The government has placed a contract for potaloos every kilometer along the M20 as from next year...

Then they are all stuffed cos the markers are every 100 mwtres...

Anyway, it is for all the wine-swigging Euro truck drivers smuggling British cheese and beer abroad.

But then again, EasyJet said they were going to get you to Brizzle on time... ;D

Result on both counts. Apart from the getting wet bit.

Good Grief. Easy Jet just coughed up the money

I have a lifetime's memories of just missing the next milestone on the mileometer.

How on earth do you manage to 'almost' always catch them?

Very sad lifestyle
Anal approach to recording numbers
Insert your own ideas here

I did miss 111,111 on the wife's TT on Monday though

Anyway, glimmer of excitement on the horizon, the "new" clutch rebuild is in progress. Was riding along last night trying to remember what it was like being able to slip the clutch
