Speeding tolerance in Europe

When on a national in Europe I tend to stick behind a local and go at his pace most go over the speed limit but are more likely to have a heads up as to where the speed traps are, don’t know about France but in Germany the local radio stations will announce in the morning where the days speed traps are going to be.

I see. Do the Polizei get annoyed about that then? :laughing:

Not as far as I’m aware as it is them that hand the list in, their view is better to prevent the speeding in the first place than just dish out tickets. They also have a different scale of fines depending on whether you are caught in a rural or urban environment acknowledging that speeding in a built up area is generally more dangerous than a rural one, if only common sense policing would catch on in the UK.
