" When I pulled back into my lane I was astonished to see the speedometer at 189 kph (~118 mph). That would have been a minimum $2000 fine and seizure."

Yep. Had about the same experience on my first drive. On the highway behind someone slouching in 90 uphill in a Micra, floor it (in economy even, not power) and into jail territory by the time I passed the car. And a Micra is a very small car.
