There is something to be said about not knowing the language of the country you are traveling through.
The police were doing routine traffic stops in France and (of course) we were the vehicle that was pulled over. It did not take them long to figure out that we could speak no French at all.
It did not take long for us to figure out that they wanted our driver’s license. After this point, it went down hill. They asked us several questions to which we both had no idea what they were wanting.
Long story short, they got frustrated pointed down the road for us to drive on and said “No English, go”
I think I will try just speaking Italian in the states next time we get stopped and see what happens.
