SAINT-MALO, France (AFP) – A British man who drove with a licence plate modified to read "kisses" in French was fined 150 euros (190 dollars, 130 pounds) by a French court on Thursday.

Graham Moore, 60, from Yorkshire in northern England, had risked up to five years in prison for driving with the plate, B18OUS, modified to read BISOUS, which had belonged to his son's car.

Moore said his now deceased son had modified the plate to amuse his French girlfriend, and that he taken to using it in France in his memory.
