what ?? tourists have to pay double ?? that is not a tourist-friendly country then <_<.? what if i tell them i don't speak german and english, will they charge me triple ?? and what if i don't have any atm card, what are they going to do ?

if the cameras are there permanently in that spot, why would people still speeding?? they are there only for the tourists and people not familiar with that area ?

That's how friendly our government is...
That highway is used by a lot of trucks and Dutch, but the interesting thing is that they released the stats of this radar trap a while back, and the most cars that got a ticket where German... That's how we love driving and speeding, we forget everything around...

I would drive with her up to the Feldberg and take all those curves FAST (Kigerka and Spec33 can tell you about it, and I was only going half speed...). She will probably pass out and will never say a word again...

When driving there, I can tell the "locals," because they start accelerating just before you can see the speed limit lifted. It's my sign to downshift and join them....

LOL, Im lucky. I love driving fast. My gf gets stopped about 2x per year for speeding and I get stopped maybe every 3 months. I got stopped about 10 days ago for going 137 MPH. They gave me a ticket for ostructing traffic which is no points. The cop said if he gave me a ticket for speeding at 137 they would have taken my license and towed the car. I am tempted to fight the ticket. What traffic am I obstructing when I am going 137MPH?

Easy, there, Chuck Yeager. That cop is your best friend.

I'd like details on the stretch of highway he works....

i'm sure your insurance rate is pretty scary . obstructing traffic ? that cop must have a good day and you should feel super lucky . btw, i think you were obstructing his traffic cuz he was supposed to go 138 .
