IIRC we recently got a law here that said you are not allowed to overtake 
for longer than 45 seconds.  It's meant for trucks (they are all physically 
limited to 90 km/hr in Europe) but I think it applies to cars too.

As usual though, I doubt it will ever get enforced, the police much prefer 
to just leave a speed camera for a day so they can go off and do other 
stuff.
