actually, most countries outside Germany, it's 120 kph
France has 130 in good weather only

the real important part is , the level of police cracking down on speed
in France, these days, you have better odds at Russian Roulette, then speeding

Holland, speed camera's, Gatso's... track controle
gate's that take yer number plate , another one 5 miles down the road, timexdistance= your average speed, only way to beat it, is by finding another road, or taking off your numberplate :
don't try it unless you like to be pulled over
don't try fake plates either, these days there are electronic systems they have in van's, that do nothing else but checking plates for insurance, tax, theft controle

Belgium, bush terrorists ( cops on the central divider between bushes with a Multinova)

all have unmarked cars driving along with video surveilance they will book you aswell

Never be the fastest one in any lane, don't tailgate, overtake on the right
find a goon in front of you , and follow him from a distance... even more so at night... the flash will be visible

UK : white van's, no matter what speed you're doing, in what sports car: there will be a white Ford Transit , right behind you flashing his lights to overtake


Otherwise... Big city driving highway ringways, during rush hour, might be a challenge if you're used to US roads... Tjams, but inbetween, carmageddon... survival of the fittest... you hesitate, you don't move...

the more south you go, the worse the parking
try finding one car parked in Nice or Marseilles that ain't dinged and not in a showroom
