the lowest speed limit in Spain for a car is 60KM and the maximum 120km with exceptions from 120 below there are cases but never up to 120km, thats the top, then on rural roads it depends, 70-90 and when you are going through a town or a city the limit is 50.

That's quite dangerous 80 km/h on these roads Very slow indeed. Here the minimal speed on these roads is 70 km/h (120 max) but usually the slowest lane goes at 90-100 at least.
Some areas are limited to 90 km/h. There is a long bridge in the north of Brussels where the speed is limited to 90 for cars and 70 for trucks: sometimes if you do "only" 90 rather than 100-120, you have trucks behind you that flash their lights because they find that you drive too slowly

did you know that here in Spain, us (people with less than a year of driving license) must keep the speed under 80 KM/H on a motorway ( i never respect it) i find it so ridicoulous, it is very slow to go at 80 on a motorway.

51-52 neither, 52-53 neither, etc. Limit has to be placed somewhere France set it at the speed+1, so you have to drive below the max speed rater than driving aproximately at the max speed as everybody does in other countries

We have a tolerance as well, yes theres a limit but you sometimes cant help reachen the exact limit, and besides, between 50 and 51 there is not much difference
antp
Yes it is. They started to apply that recently I think.
If the limit is 50, it means that you cannot make more than 50. Else where is the limit? If you are fined only above 60 km/h, why is the limit 50 rather than 60?
(though that I am happy to have 6 km/h tolerance in Belgium)

In France it is the case really? for just revasing a kilometre? i dont believe you
antp
In France it is the case.
In Belgium there is a 6 km/h tolerance.
It was just an example, I could have said 60 km/h.

Well honestly i dont know for Belgium but in spain nowbody is sanctioned for going at 51 in a road of 50
And yes by far the first one is more dangerous.

Time, weather, etc.
Sanction, yes, but which one?
Same sanction for 51 km/h than for 151 km/h? (on a 50 mk/h road)
If sanction only depends on the number of excess km/h, is it normal to have the same sanction for 60 km/h in a 30 km/h zone than for 150 km/h in a 120 km/h zone? First one is way more dangerous, no? Especially if second one is done when the road is empty.
