So I’d been meaning to come back to this for ages and say thank you for all your advice.

I did actually get stopped for speeding (just outside of a town – I thought I was in the clear) but fortunately managed to avoid a fine.

We took a normal car to Telouet as the guide book suggested it was possible. Frankly I would have been nervous about taking my old landrover defender along parts of that road but it was well worth the journey and not (technically) off piste.

Anyway, a belated “thank you” once again for your advice

Glad it was of help.
I’d be interested to know how you managed to avoid the fine. The impression that I got was that tourists are sport for the traffic police, issuing large fines that I’m sure Moroccans wouldn’t or couldn’t have paid – 400MAD for doing 55kph on the outskirts of a town.

I’m not really sure how I avoided it to be honest; apologising in Arabic and in French seemed to help.

I found everyone was very friendly – even the traffic cops; and they became even more welcoming once we tried talking to them.
