they really hate speeding in Sweden thats for sure.... dont they de-tune a lot of cars so theres less crap coming out of the exhaust ?

Im pretty sure they have the strictest rules about car noise in the world too ?


my sisters husband is banned from driving in france... they caught him doing 180mph in her DB9.... :o

Id happily pay a relative fine in cirtain circumstances such as on the motorway, over the three strikes and youre out policy.

Residential zones during daylight hours should carry the existing penalties still though, theres no excuses for speeding in areas where kids can be playing. IMHO.

They arent that bothered in Sweden compared to say, Switzerland, which is the country you were aiming for I believe.   -)
