And the fucked up thing is, when speed limits are enforced so strictly in a country I become a nervous wreck and constantly check my speedometer and rear view for tailgaters - taking my eyes off the road. Which is what happened Iceland this year when I learned their fines can be up to $600. But at least there they have huge warning signs before you come to a speed camera.

I did end up getting a speeding ticket in France this year for going 90 in an 80 zone (their tolerance is 10% over the posted speed, so that's reasonable) and while I was annoyed that they emailed it to me 2 days later I was pleasantly surprised it was only 45 Euros.

Would be much safer if people just drove according to the conditions and road design.
