speeding in other countries...
Discussion
been watching various videos+dvds on the gumball rally (years: 2000, 01, 02, 03) and been wondering about getting caught speeding in other countries
basically when they get pulled over (be it america or latvia) they just pay the fine and drive off, if its biiig speed then they go to court and pay there...
in the usa i believe that if you get caught *so* many times in one state you go to jail...
i was wondering if its the same for the average joe. if i got caught in france/belgium/germany doing say, 110mph do i just pay the coppers and go on my way?
do i get any points on my UK license???
and is it the same for the locals? do they have any kind of "points system" so if they get caught too many times they loose their license or something...?
and if not then, WHY THE F
K DO WE DO???
why must i risk my license everytime i drive over the speed limit (whether its safe or not)?
any answers/help greatly appreicated!
