Oh i wish that were true...
Yes, you get speed cameras in problem areas, but, germans do use speed
cameras as a revenue generating device, too, they just don't say they do.


I remember coming down a long winding descent out of the
Schwarzwald into a little village with progressively lower speed signs.
There was a whole line of us including me on the bike, stuck behind this
very big semi (artic) who had to go slowly because of the descent and the
twisties. At the bottom were two Polizei with a radar gun, scowling in
frustration as we all crawled past...
