More off-topicness. (Well, almost).
On the subject of silly things being illegal abroad that are OK in UK…
I've just got back from the German Fazer bash where I learnt (NOT the hard way!) that it is illegal to filter through stationary traffic on the autobahn, the penalty is 5 YEARS JAIL!!!
The stupid thing is, I never knew that, and was doing it loads. The German drivers are so good, they see you coming and make extra room for you, so why it should be illegal I can't understand. Apparently a blind eye is sometimes turned if it is being done sensibly, but with a 5 year prison sentence as penalty, I don't know if I'd want to leave it to chance. You'd better check they haven't got some mad rule like that in Spain too…

Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.
