The Consorcio is the equivalent of the MIB in UK and each EU country is obliged to have such an organisation to meet claims from innocent motorists hit by uninsured or untraceable drivers.

Quote "No hablo Espanol". Second cop smiles and says "he wants your Driving Licence" in very good English.

I have Spanish/Swiss friend who speaks perfect English. He was stopped in UK for speeding. HE decided he would pretend not to speak English. He said, just his luck to get stopped by possibility the only UK cop who spoke just about perfect Spanish. He let him off with a caution anyway.

You never know what language the cops speak when I was a cop my first ever probationer I took under my wing was Greek by birth and had come to UK via Australia.
