I’m in the Netherlands pretty often and they only use technology to enforce speeding and red lights. It’s a drag to find out a month later you got a ticket. They go so far as having “average speed zones” that can be up to 10km in length. Basically they tag you entering the zone and exiting and look at the time and if your average speed between the points exceeded the limit by 10km/hr you get a ticket. These really suck when they are lengthy between points because you forget your are in the zone. Basically I now drive with my cruise set to the exact limit :)

Do you see the crazy driving in the Netherlands that we see here? For example, I'm in the middle lane of I84 or I91 at the speed limit and cars crawl up my tail and pass going what seems to be well over 80 mph, crossing in and out of lanes. It's like they're looking for an accident.

Honestly - no. People mostly abide by the speed limit. Not 10-20 over but the actual speed limit. You occasionally get the guy in the BMW 8 series driving like a dick but they always have German plates 😉
