Instead of pathetic seals to help with a sms ” you have already 58.264 motorists contributed to a better road surface by the gas slightly deeper in to the steps than allowed. For better asphalt starts with yourself.

5.5 million euro cost of the work on the E40 between Brussels and Ghent, writes het Nieuwsblad. Because of the work, the lanes are narrowed and there is a speed limit of 70 kilometres per hour. There is the existing speed zone on set and that seem to be not many motorists realize.

Where on a normal day, about 500 motorists in error, that there is now a daily 4000. In the short two weeks that work is underway, there are already 58.264 motorists caught with a too high speed. And that while the cameras during the heat wave were turned off because they overheat the tip. Flitsmarathon is not for nothing: word of the year in the south. Fines are usually between 50 and 100 euros, according to Dutch standards, still pretty democratic prices, but equally on his thang.

Still has the nice. At this moment, there are already 4.5 million in fines issued. The work will last until mid-July, so it seems that these road works themselves twice in return. Contribute your ideas can still be, the Belgian asphalt has your help is needed NOW. On behalf of the asphalt: thank you.

Incidentally, swung the police recently on the same piece of E40 still 130 people on the receipt due to the filming of the consequences of an accident while they drive.
