I think I can par on my last trip to Germany in the autumn, with BGN as wingman:- 1. Two autobahn flashes(Dortmund ish). It's an autobahn FFS! 2. One on Route 1 near Paderborn same day. 3. Personal invitation from the nice man with the slashed peak cap to add 30 euros to the coffers of the good burgers of Simmern on the Hunruckhohestrasse. We were doing a rapid recovery of BGN to B&B after he got the bad news about his father. -- I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. Groucho Marx

Well the RIPA now seems to allow any jumped up pip squeak to gather or ask for data I saw this last week and was gobsmacked. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/11/poole_council_ripa/ -- Ian

I bet he got done on the A10 where it crosses the Loire at Tours. I know I was, in both directions[inc one @>180kph (110 limit)]. Plus both directions on the bend on the N10 at Labouheyre. At least, they were the four I noticed.
