European Club Rugby

First off the Belgian motorways are shit! They have some of the biggest pot holes in europe. Second off I have little sympathy for a guy in a Ferrari or Bently getting stung going over 200Kmph when the speed limit is 130Kmph at its highest.
I also have zero sympathy for any one getting caught DUI. But I will say as was the case when I lived in NZ getting done DUI is much more common in the cities then the rural areas. Infact its a total joke in the countryside no one ever gets done and everyone here is still doing it.
Agreed with very little sympathy for guys in luxury/'prestige' cars getting caught at ridiculous speeds.
I can't remember the motorways in Belgium - I do remember being terrified on the ones in Czechia... I was expecting the bike to fall apart from the (literally) constant shuddering. (Not helped by it being a new bike, after I'd written the previous one off on a motorway a couple of weeks earlier).
No sympathy for anyone getting caught DUI? Not even our own DC? As he is a role model, I'm expecting a rash of DUIs by young impressionable kiwis. Weetbix kids? Nah - Kiwi Kids are drink-driving Kids. -
As an aside the reason there are tolls in France as there is no road tax, and registration is a one off fee when you buy a car.
Its probably the only tax we don't have here.
So a shit load of trucks pass through France, and they have to pay for the roads somehow so they have tolls its pretty fair you don't use you don't pay. I have to say as well the motorways that are tolled tend to be kept in excellent condition and have a shit load of facilities.

Fair enough. But if you can avoid their roads the better.
Watch out for Switzerland too. Not tolled but you need to have a sticker of your windscreen to be on the motorways and you can only buy a 12 month version (about 90 euro) even if just passing through in a day. Austria has a similar system but you can buy 10 day stickers cheap. -
An expensive mistake by DC as he has lost his Land Rover sponsorship.

@Stargazer it wasn't a dig mate sorry! Just I saw it last week when trying to see if there were any tickets available for when I'm down there.
I thought the article where they were insisting Manix was there for the long term was interesting. Seemed like they were really trying to reassure someone. Maybe the players who knows.
