Today, I've paid 120 francs stupid tax in person.

Green Omega estate on the A3 ZH725xxx, blacked-out windows and I passed him with my clock showing nearly 160kph, I reckon.

With over-reading that was 145kph. Frequent offence discount of 8% and I was down to 133kph.

Also let off with a warning for not indicating on lane changes (100 francs potentially) especially on a bike where it's dangerous (no way ).

Grand to meet the lads in person mind you Rather than just having my picture taken.....
I take it they got on your six and checked your speed from behind? I would be interesting to know what they use for a measuring device. If it is the stock speedo I would then be interested to know how and how often it is calibrated and what increments it has. Also good to know would be the minimum distance at that speed you would need to be followed...I would say a good 600m minimum with a 2 sec. gap would be prudent.

Suprised an estate would be set up for this. Blacked out windows are always a bad sign, as are strange aerials or bumps that look..."aftermarket".
