Au Reviour licence!
UK Police say a motorcyclist who had been stopped for speeding, adopted a French accent in an attempt to avoid prosecution.
The biker - who's been compared to Del Boy from Only Fools and Horses - was pulled over in West Sussex on a bike with French plates.
Checks found the vehicle was in fact registered in the UK and he had no licence or insurance.
PC Glen McArthur, of Sussex Police, revealed the strange circumstances on Twitter.
This little tinker thought he'd run around on French plates to avoid insurance, licence etc etc. His fake accent was somewhat comical!

"The bike was followed at excess speed on the A27 @ Lancing last night (29/11). When stopped the rider claimed to be French. Checks of the bike showed it to be UK registered. The rider had an expired licence & no insurance."
