Default Fines in France for not having driving licence

A risky, but sometimes very effective strategy is to play dumb (comes
easily to me) and not speak any French. A friend who is bilingual in
French and English claims to always speak English to the Flics in the
hope that they will not be arsed to try and explain to him what he had
done wrong. I'd hesitate to say this was a good idea, but it has been
know to work.
