I drove in France recently. The autoroute had a speed limit of 130 kmh in the dry and 110 kmh in the wet.

However, 140 kmh put you in the slow lane (along with the semi-trailers), 150 kmh saw you in the middle lane.

Heaven help you if you went out to the fast lane under 160kmh as some guy in a Porsche/Mercedes/BMW/Audi would burn their headlights into the back of your retinas in the rear vision mirror...

Speed cameras are very well sign-posted in advance and lane discipline was incredible... and not a cop in sight...
