That wouldn't work in the Netherlands, as the owner of the car is responsible anyway in case no specific driver can be blamed.
They also want to introduce a traffic control over a certain distance, so you are photographed at the beginning end the end of a specific distance of the motorway, so you get a fine if your average speed is over the limit. This seems to work a lot better to slow down the traffic. The distance is several miles. -- Frits W�thrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
