Do French Police stop more Motorhomes on a Sunday or it an urban myth (1 Viewer)

[Rocking Rivet]

I have often wondered, do French Police stop more Motorhomes on a Sunday or it an urban myth?

 

[Two on Tour]

Never heard that one before.

Where are all these police? I've only seen one car this trip?

Never heard that one before.

Nor me.

I wouldn't be worrying.

IF they do, it's probably because French trucks are not allowed to travel on a Sunday so they have more time to concentrate on other vehicles?

Are other Funsters like us, preferring to do our 'big' driving in a weekend, when all but the fresh produce artics are off the road.

Sunday pm is the favourite day/time for 'Documentation Checks' after people have had a good lunch and convivial afternoon with friends and family and maybe a little to much bonhomie.

The Gendarmes' frequently pay our village a visit on Sunday afternoons and occupy the Cross Road in the village to carry out the aforesaid Document Check and maybe a Breathalyser Test for Monsieur............

Along with plenty of others allowed to be on the roads.

perishable produce or refrigerated produce, trucks servicing sporting events or trade fairs, and also fuel, air cargo and essential product movements. As well as live animal transport.
I'm always amazed at how many are still actually on the roads

We like Tuesdays for 500km driving days. We try to avoid the weekends.

That would suit us fine as it is unlikely Monsieur would be driving

It is likely that there are more MHs on the road on a Sunday, whether returning from a w/e or weeks holiday.

Probably because the useless sods have been asleep all week

I think that police forces in just about every country have their peculiar little 'foibles' with regard to checking certain vehicle types.

I have it on good authority that the British police are very keen on checking any 'white vans' on the move after midnight. A fellow musician, who drives a little white van, in which he carries all his gear, was returning from a gig recently and was pulled over.

He told me that it was not the first time, and that one particular officer had told him that white-van-man on the move after the witching hour were prime targets for police patrols.

So, I suppose the French police may have a similar penchant with regard to British motorhomes on Sundays ?

Overtime rates?
