Summary
Drive to arrive alive, remember that speed really doesn’t make all that much of a difference in your arrival time, in fact it will cost you more fuel, and if you are stopped by police for speeding in addition to the time you lost waiting to pay an expensive fine, you may see increased insurance costs. Slow down to the speed limit, take regular breaks, remember you are on vacation not signed up for the 24 Hours of Le Mons.
