Re: [OM] speed limits, was My first photo of 2013 - Redneck Santa

I the UK speed cameras have everything but flashing lights - you'd have to be 
half asleep to miss them. And lots aren't loaded!
The standard speed on the motorways seems to be about 80mph for those who can 
do it - more for Audi drivers. 
Makes for a quick cruise up the M40 which seems to lack speed cameras 
altogether.
I tend to drive at around that on the motorways and 150kph on the French 
autoroutes and never had a ticket.
But I suspect that lane discipline is far better in the UK and Europe than in 
the US and Australia.
It keeps things flowing nicely.
