Some vids of me riding with the Silver Wing

So now I just loaded up some vids. Partly commuting- only quick and dirty - uncut.

I have to admit- not always obeying all the traffic regulations ;-)

BTW Speeding is not such a big accusation here in Germany as in the states.

For example:
out of city Limits




…bis 10 km/h 10 €    
…11 - 15 km/h 20 €
…16 - 20 km/h 30 €
…21 - 25 km/h 70 € 1 Point (loosing your license if you reach 7 Points)
…26 - 30 km/h 80 € 1 Point
(if you did this twice within one year you will got a ban of 1 month)

Interesting to see the fines and penalties for speeding. Do the police allow any "wiggle room" in determining your speed? Over here, frequently there is a 5-6mph tolerance for exceeding the posted speed limit. Of course there are exceptions; such as the occasional hard-nosed cop, or speed traps intentionally set up to fill the coffers of the local town and politicians.

Oh in Germany we always have rules-


so they have rules für measurements and to consider measuring inaccuracy

they subtract

•- 3 km/h for speed < 100 km/h

and


•- 3 % für speed > 100 km/h (rounding up or down to whole numbers ).

so it is not quite the 5 miles you got.

I think (maybe it is a rule too- don´t know) that the traps will only activated if the measuring is 5km above the speedlimit.

but as a rule - if you are going up to 20km/h on the spedometer over the allowed speed - it is still cheap.
Speedometer speed is I gues 5km at least to high (there are rules for this too)-than subtracting the 3km/h- so if you are lucky or if you have a fast speedometer it will be 10 euros or in the worst case 20 euros.

And I can´t complain- speedlimit on roads is 100km/h and as you will already know on Autobahns and 2-lane motorways (that is new- it was 130km/h) - generally unlimited (only if special speed limit signs were installed-  but most parts (or at least many parts) of the Autobahns and motorways are restricted in such a way).
