Well done! Glad you are home.
Sorry to hear you got fined - if its any consolation I got a speeding ticket when travelling through Italy so just as eventful really!

I was caught by the German police who were very professional and humanly they were sympatric to my illegal travelling, even though, they fined me €100.00 we shook hands at the end of it. I'll give you all three guesses what I did illegally throughout Europe... Tony.

Good guesses, but, I've been driving on the wrong and right side of the road and back again for 12 years so it wasn't that - I was carrying a warning triangle, a yellow vest, fire extinguisher, spare bulbs etc. As for speeding, no, and difficult to do towing a ton of caravan. Anyone else with a guess or two. I was oblivious too until pulled over and it was explained, only then did it make sense. It's one thing not knowing you're not legal and another when you do, I was running the gauntlet from mid Europe to home from then on. Tony.

:dry: A guessing game eh? What cost 100 euros in fines when caught doing something you have to do in Europe but not in UK when towing ....?:blink: Safety chain from tow bar to trailer/ caravan?
