Out of curiosity, what IS the speed limit? I wasn't aware there was one observing how the locals drive and I don't believe I have ever seen a speed limit sign.

I am curious to know if they write a speeding citation to someone who was " bahn heah " ?

Tarroc said: In the late 90s there were rumours of cops using a radar gun but on further inspection it was revealed to be a hairdryer they were pointing at passing motorists. Everyone did slow down. ^That cracked me up!
