In every summer with my friend’s family we take a car and drive somewhere we’ve never been before. A couple of years ago we went to Paris and something happened during our way there.

It was dark outside, we had been driving all day long. Everybody was really tired. Only a couple of hours more and we could sleep in a lovely, comfortable hotel bed! Anyway, we continued our travel and suddenly we saw a huge truck in the middle of the road and a police car next to it. When we were a little closer we could see a policeman waving some kind of stick with a bright light on (I couldn’t see well enough, it was dark!). Of course we knew that the police officer wanted us to do something, so we just passed the truck on the other side of it. We thought that everything was ok, but suddenly we heard a loud noise behind us. It was a police siren! We were all extremely scared; we didn’t know what we had done wrong anyway. We stopped the car and the officer came to talk to us. Well, he didn’t speak any English (what a good luck we had!). We tried to say something in French, but it sounded really bad and it was quite difficult to understand what the officer was saying and he didn’t speak English so… Finally we figured out that we had driven too fast, and we had to pay a fine. But luckily we weren’t arrested or anything worse…

Actually this was a made-up story based on what happened in my friend’s trip;D
