What is the standard speeding fine on a Belgian Autobahn for doing 145 in a 120 zone? also is 8 months a reasonable amount of time between commiting this hanous crime and receiving a fine? and what will the Belgian authorities do if you don't pay it?
And yes to all you doo gooder tree huggers I did the crime and I don't want to pay the fine, because I think it is exceptionally steep which is why I want to know what a Belgian would expect to pay.

Steve - we talking MPH or clicks?
My advice would be: unbuckle ones belt from ones trousers, drop said trousers and position oneself face first over a large vessel for transporting beer
Although maybe Theo might be of better help
Best of British errr I mean Belgian

Rich it is KM so not overly fast anyway. Infact that was probably the slowest I have ever driven down there, the time before that I was racing some white thing at over 220kmh, lucky I didn't get caught for that one
they took 8 months to send me a fine which is all in Belgian jibberish not even sure it is a language telling me to pay €156 for doing 145 in a 120km zone heading into Oostende. The camera was in a bush on the central reservation of a 3 lane motorway, the guy that put it there was talking his life in his hands
anyway I am not bleating about it I just think €156 is a tad on the steep side for 25km over the limit.

Think yourself lucky you're not Finnish, where they calculate it as a proportion of your earnings. Wasn't it last year when a vice-director of Nokia got something like a half a million euro speeding fine? (I never did find out if he paid it or successfully appealed).
Rich A - Belgium's an odd country it's true, but it ain't going to be MPH if it was in a 120 zone, is it?

Belgians don't you just love em - famous for only two things; paedophilia and chocolates. Presumably the chocolates came out of necessity to excel at the first.

Steve, think yourself lucky you were in Belgium and not Switzerland, I got cought doing about the same in Schweiz a couple of years ago and it cost me 600DM on the spot (all major credit cards accepted!). It was a bit weird though as he had the fines written down in a notebook... kinda looked like one price for the Swiss another for the auslanders 
I tried arguing, but the alternative was to impound my car until a court could hear my case
