Count yourself lucky. A member of my family was motorcycling in Austria (where they are very anti-car). He was travelling below speed limit, but briefly overtook a slower moving vehicle and must have gone a few mph above limit.
Cops pulled him.
Had to pay an immediate on-the-spot fine which was someothing ridiculous (I think I’m right in saying something like £600 or a grand). That or jail. Credit card taken at the side of the road!
Be warned!
