Nick Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Suppose it must be Amsterdam but it didn't seem very far as I was living in Breda at the time! I was in Stockholm for a few months last year, I was desperate to bring it over but by the time I managed to sort out a parking space winter was starting to close in and my contract came to an end There's some very nice roads over there...

roboldham Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Originally posted by hogmaw One good thing about the US is that you don't collect penalty points. So if you get a speeding fine, you pay it, then you're off and that's it. Not sure that's correct - I asked a taxi driver this very question in Vegas a couple of weeks back and he said for the first penalty you can just pay it off but if you get another then you have to go back to driving school and your insurance goes up - and there IS a points system. It also depends on the speed and circumstances it appears. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered that some states with wide open spaces have NO speed limit eg Montana, Wyoming etc. Imagine those long, long empty roads surrounded by fields with big sky and no speed limit...

Need4Speed Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 The Montana bit is correct except that the Highway Patrol can pull you if they THINK you were going too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
