Does anyone know the law on being flashed abroad

A ****, so he was on a 90kph limit which is around 55mph and was doing 138kph around 85mph and he was caled a ****. How many people on this forum have been that stupid or worse and noone gives them agro apart from the odd bubble burster.

I think my return journey from Stuttgart, via Belgium, Luxemburg and France (maybe not in that order!) all at very much 100+ (anything up to flat out as and when possible) was very much a one off for my memories then!! Glad I had my brother on board to experience it and my camera to record the Road Angel readings!

Now thats what I call a real party you must have been buzzing from those kind of speeds. Wicked

They reckoned he was a **** because (a) the police were very visible, (b) he was on the slip road exiting the motorway and approaching a roundabout and therefore slowing down, (c) by his own admission he saw the police late and "stood on the brakes", (d) it was rush hour and there was a lot of traffic.
He was flashed at 138kph, but his speed would have been a lot higher if he hadn't been braking.
The "****" wasn't necessarily directed at him, or anyone else, who chooses to drive fast. Why, even police chiefs do that.
The feeling was that it was inappropriate in those circumstances and at that speed he should have been a lot more attentive -- the police were very visible, and if he didn't see them, how many other things did he not see?
In short, he would have done better not to brag about it.

Having lived in Belgium for some years I know that the Speeding Fines there are terrifying. I know of some Americans who have fallen foul to the law and had their cars impounded as the fine could not be paid in the given period of time.
