Oops, I think I messed up -speeding!

[sherbertdip]

Currently sat in hotel room in Bavaria, wondering if I screwed up soon after doing 210 kph on the Autobahn I was slowing down and went under what I think was a gantry of speed cameras at 170 kph, I thought I was in a de-restricted zone but now I'm wondering if I was actually in a 120kph limit zone and missed the signs, my reasoning being why would they have speed cameras in a de-restricted zone? I shall await a letter from the German Police

The Gantry is probably for HGV tracking. They are across Europe.

Worry if you get the letter. Until then there is nothing you can do. Worrying won’t change anything.

Wise words.

Easier said than done, as we all know.

I am concerned, looking at the fine calculator suggests 320 euro plus a fee, although further investigation suggests that fines aren't levied from cameras anymore since brexit - I'll cling onto that thread of hope

You might just be correct.

The link doesn't work, but yes, they are everywhere, including derestricted.

I wouldn't sweat it, I have been through loads at way north of 200kph. Get waze.

Your car or a hire car?

They're just hgv tracking/tax, don't worry.

[SmithCorona]

Yep, that's the ones.

I do have Waze, but I can't stream music off my phone at the same time, and I needed some music to drown out the sound of an abused diesel engine
