As Portugal's GNR announces a Summer-long season of stops and inspections, we share experiences how to approach such situations as a foreigner.

Joining the discussion is Astrid from Expats Portugal as well as our lovely regulars and a few new names and faces.

Sadly we couldn't make the connection with Peter 'Spice Guy' Calder, but here's his Expats Portugal id: https://expatsportugal.com/members/peterfc
