Ironically, Germany is the only country where I’ve gotten speeding tickets on the highway when driving through Europe east to west or vice versa. I’m still not entirely sure whether it was because of road works, the fact that I had a (small) trailer, or something else.

With a trailer you're limited to 80kph (or 100kph im some cases)

And police is setting also setting up "distance traps" on the Autobahn, you can get a ticket (or even lose your license) for tailgating.

For trailers, there is a general speed limit of 80km/h, unless the trailer is suitably equipped and officially approved for 100km/h and is towed by a suitable vehicle. (Here, the specifics get complicated, because Germany) Trailers capable of driving at 100km/h must be marked at the rear with a sticker.

At least their fines aren't as ludicrously high as other EU countries. It's only high when you speed next to roadworks I think.

Which is wrong. Fines have to be linked to income and they must hurt or they are just a tax.

Yeah, in Norway they are income based AFAIK. In the Netherlands it's just insanely expensive for normal people and a premium subscription for rich people to drive faster
