Christine Animal Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Maybe not, he was very quick, for a Belgian [:D]245 km/h in his Ferrari, but soon got stopped http://actu.orange.fr/articles/insolite/Saone-et-Loire-un-Belge-controle-a-245-km-h-au-volant-d-une-Ferrari.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 That is frightening when you think that every time I have had a near miss on my motorbike, it has been a Belgian who has nearly taken me out! Hope that they lock him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I bet he argued the toss too!Belgians are addicted to cars as a means of expression. Often successful and less successful businessmen will drive very high powered vehicles very badly and at high speed as the number of speed controls is Belgium is relatively low. And if they do get caught on a du piston pour faire sauter les proces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that they lock him up.[/quote]There has to be something in this, Bob. Whenever I drive on the autoroute I always drive as fast as conditions and speed limits allow; the only cars which pass me, usually at a much higher speed, are Belgian. [:-))] I just thought perhaps they don't have speed limits at home, and so they're not used to obeying them! [blink]SidAnd now I wait for the "Thought Police" to tell me I'm a racist!

woolybanana Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Most Belgian speed traps are withdrawn at night and speed limits are not that much obeyed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 "And now I wait for the "Thought Police" to tell me I'm a racist!"Seems to me that it's the Belgies who are doing the racing?[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyphilpott Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 A Belgian gave way to me the week before last! Now that is a first!!!Agree wholeheartedly with all the comments re poor driving by Belgians generally.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I reckon the craziest Euro drivers are the Italians. I have noticed that it is compulsory on Belgian lorries to only have one dim rear light.Motorcyclists beware the new Volvos are the Audis with the enormous aggressive grilles and drivers to match.
