If you think so...But isn't Germany notorious for its red tape, too?
In winter I had expensive passport photos taken at 27 quid when being caught speeding at 19 mph where only 12.4 mph were allowed. I was daydreaming and envisioning the most beautiful things and then
bang.
Novelty: There's hardly any other place on earth where the speed limit is 12.4 mph. The traffic sign for it is hardly known. The lowest standard speed limit is 18.6 mph.
I ran into a stationary speed trap put in place just recently. I'd read about it but thought to myself that I wasn't very likely ever to drive there anyway. But then there was a detour and I followed it and was taken entirely by surprise. The admin guy in charge said in an interview that that speed camera proved to be "highly profitable." Well, I like donations and make them regularly. The city needs them badly.
