This exists here, too, but usually only in the bigger cities
AFAIK.

However, is it true that  in the US, 'tempo sinners' (as

one or two days depending on how much too fast they drove
on the highway? A acquaintance of mine told me once, this
happened to her mother when she were having a stay in
America.
