About 10 days ago I was some distance from Santiago on a largely empty and straight road. I know the local Carabineros like that area for a spot of target hitting and revenue raising. So as I wasn't in a hurry I set the cruise control to 120kph and watched the world go by.
Sadly as the smiling Carabinero informed me, for a 1km stretch the limit is 100kph because of a junction. The one the Carabineros were sat on, as it happens.
b*****.
No points. Even the 100 quid doesn't bother me that much. But the way it works here I have to go back to that area, attend the local court next Friday and pay the judge. And it's 180 b***** miles from here.
