Hi all,
During our Austria visit last week we were also surprided in 70 km/h
areas (in villages with 50 km/h limit we consider it as normal to respect
this because there it makes a lot of sense).
Our first day after 50 km the 2 first riding members of our group were
stopped in 70 km/h zones were we were doing 120-130, the first ironically
on a "Rock the boot" Goldwing by the Austrian police using a speed gun.
The rest of us could hit the brakes and was lucky to escape and warned for
the rest of the trip.
We spotted every day at least 3 controls, more than we have in Belgium for
a month... :))
regards,
Ludo
