> though there are some areas (principally the Home Counties) where it's difficult to find a road that isn't infested with speeding Audis. This is the issue, though. Over here, in France, secondary roads (smaller "départementales", roads you wouldn't take when looking for the fastest route from A to B when neither is directly on that road) are basically rally circuits. Aside from a few usual suspects, the police don't really patrol them. I know many such roads where I've never seen a single cop after some two decades of riding in nice weather. And, at least around Paris, they're in good enough shape to allow speeding comfortably, but they're barely wider than a single Audi.
