Here’s a little fact, Plastic Bertrand didn’t sing any of the songs on any of his first three albums, including “Ca plane pour moi”.

Don’t forget the overtaking ban on motorways in Belgium when it rains.
It’s a big moneymaker for the Belgium police as a little splutter can be seen as rain.
It’s costly I think we paid last time 350 euro if I mind it right.
This also on the motorways where there is no overtaking banWTF is that all about? does the rain affect the trucks overtaking and make them more dangerous? or do they think that when it rains the trucks will sit in line and the cars can fly past quicker even though its raining
stupid little country with stupid rules, should be split in half and give the top half to the dutch and the bottom half to the french and be rid of the stupid frites and mayo breed of halfwits with stupid anti truck laws
I think it’s because Belgian drivers, car drivers in particular, are so stupid they don’t understand that the big ball of spray they are catching up, has something inside it making the spray. Therefore they carry on driving flat out, then try to brake hard on a wet road. This obviously causes them to skid into the back of the slower moving truck and kill themselves.
Personally I’m of the opinion that Darwinism should be given the chance to workYou’re right, its a little country. Just grit your teeth, grin n bear it. You’ll be through and away in only a few hours.
Just like the Indians & Muslims rely on a Golden tissue box for their travels, the Belgians and many people from Middlesbrough rely heavily on the Roman Catholic church to get them safely to their destination.
in my opinion they are the worst drivers in Europe
I understand that some people who drive for irish firms are rather partial to the mussels from brussels, me personally i find they are better in ostend. It seems some people prefer them with a beard on but i prefer a bit of garlic and cream.

Sounds like some kind of shenanigans that would go on behind the bushes at Jabekke 
Sorry sorry sorry for my very late reply!!!
Completely forgot about this post, although I’ve had fun reading through all the replys.
Good news, I survived!!! Piece of cake.
Started off with a collection in Swindon, ran it down to Kluisbergen in Belgium. Intial shock of driving off the train into darkness, rain, wind and nutters in cars…and trucks come to think of it. But didn’t take long to get used to. After I’d tipped in Kluisberg I reloaded in Ghent, ran up to bristol the next day and reloaded again in Swindon for kluisberg. After that was tipped on the wednesday due to delays on the train. I had to go to Paris french car drivers are complete nutters. They drive stupidly close and will risk their lives to get a few inches past you before pulling in.
That said I enjoyed it a lot and now have enough wine to last me a whole year, but will probably be gone by January 1st

They weren’t all driving towards you were they?

I think Parisians are are a different breed to the rest of France, and I know a few French people who agree with me.

Coffeeholic:
In Belgium give any car with only 5 characters on its number plate a bit extra room.
Can you believe I completely forgot this rule, Coffee, as I pulled out from the E17 snackplace just above Gent the other week?
I hadn’t even reached the R4 turnoff for Zelzate before one of the ■■■■■■■■ got me!!
