You're right of course when it comes to many European countries. I really can't understand why comments along yours are downvoted on this thread. It's enough to watch how German drivers behave in Poland for example. Once the threat of a heavy fine and speed traps at many places in the city is gone they speed recklessly the same way as locals. If you respect a speed limit in Polish cities you will get a lot of rage directed at you. That's the case in many European countries I drove through as well. Not all countries mind you but most of them.
