Well, if I go 80 will they take my license or will it be just a fine? Anyway, because I am from Germany I don't think they can give me points only a fine.

In Germany I keep to about 28 KM above legal speed on the motorway for that reason. Got fined a couple of times in the last years but that's ok.

You should be OK at 80mph, although I would suggest slowing down when going through the toll!!!!!

Come on you reds!!!!

Well, made in time, but only just :)
Just as we were praising Ryanair, they decided to leave the Hahn airport almost an f**** hour later than planned. Then I had some realy slooooooooooooow people in front of me when getting the keys for the hired car. The journey was ok, there was one delay in the M6 after Birmingham, an accident had a lane closed. But in the end I got there just time. I will find out if I was speeding soon enough, even though I did not see any flashes...

Thanks again to everyone giving advice, much appreciated!!
