Whilst travelling through France in a small convoy of Austins in the late 1980s two motorcycle police pulled us all over and read the riot act.
They said we were causing chaos and should pull over more often to let traffic pass. My mother explained that we had been doing this, but every time we did so, the following cars would either pull in to chat or slow down to take photos.
The Police officer got quite agitated about this and told us stop talking nonsense - no sooner had the words left his mouth than a car that had slowed down to take a photo ran into the back of his motorcycle - my mother, seizing the moment exclaimed "comme ca"!! We were ushered on our way without a word...
