Quite. We were passed by a whole stream of English and Dutch cars
between Cluses and Geneva on Saturday doing speeds around, I would
guess, 180kph. We wondered how many of the English cars would make it
to Calais without passing a camera.
You forgot the belgians and the (one that I noticed) germans. I doubt my
Not really, it was UK and Dutch plates I saw. Some Dutch are pretty bad
for this, they tear across Switzerland at 160kph as well even though
it's a 120 limit and then carry on into Germany where they become slow
traffic until they reach the restricted sections at 130 which they
proceed to ignore. It's especially annoying if you've just managed to
pass 8 Dutch cars doing 160kph in the outside line only to find them
steaming past you 2 minutes later in a restricted section. The Belgians
do the same but aren't quite as bad.
freelander td4 with four passengers and a roof box could get to 180kph, at
least without a long runup and no traffic in the way, which didn't happen on
saturday the 3rd.
It was pretty quiet at 3 in the afternoon but I'm sure it was pretty
busy in the morning.
