Sounds like you've had your share of driving in Poland...

Reminds me of a certain Polish politician who claimed that the faster a car drives, the less time it has to use fuel, so its FE improves

Polish politicians are busy changing their laws to make it easier to break them, but meanwhile in France:

Law will change very soon in France. @50km/h (31mph) over PSL you get
  • a 3750€ (5250$) ticket, instead of 300€
  • and 3 month prison
This is added to the the car confiscation, the 6 lost points on the driving license (out of 12) and its temporary cancellation of 6 months.

The same with others problems such as phoning while driving which goes from 2 points & 35€ to 3 points & 135€.

By now a stranger will have only the ticket, but France is working with all European countries to be able to apply prison and points/license cancellation too.
