Yesterday I got busted doing around 160 km/h. :thumbsdown:
I'm pissed about it, cause I was about the only one at that moment, which was 20:20h, on that piece of high way in Belgium.

Just had to share it........(sorry)

Ow! Sorry to hear that. They caught me Belgium a couple of years back doing 132km/h in a 120km/h zone and charged me EUR130. In Germany they typically don't even bother fining you if you're under 140km/h in a 120km/h zone. I learnt the hard way that Policing methods vary from country to country! (Could have been worst though - not going to mention the speed I was doing as I came over the boarder )

Hope they go easy on you...

Cheers

I believe we live in the same country. And 160 km/h is within limits for not loosing your license (on highway with 120 km/h limit). But still Belgium is way to radical on their ticket price.

I find that if you are not driving over 10km or 10mph over the speed limit then itis OK say itis 50 and you are doing about 58 that ok then. this was in UK,US and HK but dont know with other country.
Pleas anybody tell us all about the speed cams in other country or how they nick you. so that when we go to your country we know what to look out for
