..or in front of you either. Russian cops manning a speed trap near Berezniki. Apparently anything up to 60km/h above the limit attracts a fine of up to 1500 roubles on a sliding scale, after which it's disqualification and a bigger fine!
Equating to english roads, doing 80mph on a 60 limit road gets you a £32 fine, which would get you around £500 fine and 6 points in UK.
Not condoning speeding or moaning about penalties, but I think I'd rather get done by an anoymous speed camera in UK than getting a stern talking to by a Russian speed cop.
By the way, we didn't get done, our driver had pulled over to ask for directions - the cops didn't know where the place was either!
