We don't have that in Germany: we have radar cameras, instead, and the convenient ticket-by-mail plan.

A nice refinement I added to the speed warning is that you can set the cruise control to the limit by holding the stock until you hear a ping. I have mine set at 100 km/h for more relaxed driving of the Landstrasse. I can return to that speed when I leave a village by simply accelerating with the cruise control. That may seem a bit silly but is very nice as you can look at the road the entire time.
