Who says the Autobahn doesn't have speed limits?

Another European myth that we found not to be true. The Autobahn does have speed limits.

So apparently I was going 154kph in a 100kph zone and went through a speed trap camera (we call it "getting flashed"). I understand that anything 20kph over the speed limit, the government sends you a notice (ie the document to the left) and asks that you verify the driver is actually you. Then, after I return this notice, they will send me my real ticket and ask me to pay a fine.

Heck, for those of you who know the story, I'll take a ticket in Germany over a ticket in North Carolina (No mandatory court appearance in Germany : )
