Fortunately (?) we don't have that points-system here. When we get caught, we pay. The second time you get caught within a certain period, the "price" can be double. However, depending on how much you're over the limit, you can loose your license from 2 weeks to 1 year; 30 km/h over the limit can be enough.
In the 18 years that I drive I've had "only" 3 minor speeding tickets, all with my car, none with the bike. Knock on wood, 'cause with a bike, it only takes a split second to go wayyy of limits!
And if I really can't control myself, Germany is only 20 minutes away.
