Spanish speeding fine

[Two Rivers]

The postman deliver a Christmas greeting from Spain this morning, a speeding fine for 63 in a 50, cost Euro100 with a 50% discount if paid within 20 days.
The payment procedure was as clear as mud but I managed to pay it, Hopefully?
Yes, I was in the wrong and paid, what pissed me off, if we are no longer part of EU, Why are DVLA giving my details away?.
I have not had a speeding ticket since 16 years of age on a motorcycle.

To me, it's because we still buddy up to the EU.
We still adopt their laws as our lawmakers are clueless.
We left the European community but only in name.

My guess is that the DVLA sold your details. I have no evidence of that but I would not put it past them.

 

[Lenny HB]

There is an agreement between the UK and Spain to share driver details.

How many times do you reckon that you’ve gotten away with it; double digits?

Why are DVLA giving my details away?.

As Lenny HB said there is a reciprocal agreement between Uk& Spain

 

[Verteuil Man]

At the end of the day we have all been 9ver the speed limit at one time or another. No use blaming the EU or reciprocal agreements. If you have done wrong, it's wrong. Luckily there are no points attached.

Why on earth are you spoiling what was going to be a really good ranting thread with facts.

You could have waited a few hours

Does the same ally to France ??

Does the same ally to France ??

The 'mystery' of how France is fining British drivers

France is continuing to send speeding fines to UK motorists despite there being no explanation as to how French authorities are getting hold of UK data, The Connexion reports.

The other thing that comes to mind is the crit air certificate where you supply details of your vehicle to French authorities

I havent got one of them and I havent had a speeding fine in France

 

[Northernraider]

I've no critair haven't registered for any emission zones etc ,don't have a Dartford tunnel account etc. Have never had any speeding fines from Europe or any fines for entering low emmision zones which It's likely i have done at some point. I've had a few parking tickets but have bin filed those.

I'm very rarely over 60mph so if I have ever triggered a camera it's been one of the ones entering towns or wherever when the limit has been up and down like I whoors knickers.

How do you get around the Dartford toll or aren't you the registered keeper?

I avoid it

Somebody ring the Daily Mail, we have irrefutable proof

 

[nicholsong]

He changes vehicles so often.

But maybe not now that he has fallen in love with his 'Quality' Flair. He will have to be more careful - oh no he won't as he has no address to send the fines to.

So Tam, what address are you using for DVLA fo V5c and driving licence? And for insurance? Do tell.

Blimey a MHer admitting he was at fault. There's novel.

 

[carolyn]

I can beat that, 5 from Hungary, not speeding fines but emission zones. 2 separate e-vignettes bought and paid for our new van. Idiot here only entered one digit incorrectly and compounded it because the info had been saved when I bought the 2nd one for our return journey.

Each one is £100 approx and is managed by EPCplc and I’m appealing as there should be a reduced fee of “only 1170HUF” plus the admin fee so it should be £250 instead of £500.

Merry bloody Christmas! If the appeal takes the 60 days we won’t actually be in the country though…

 

[EuroTrotters]

I got flashed in the tunnel heading from France to Italy. I was driving a Hertz hire car. Wondered why the chauffeur in the Maybach sat on my bumper suddenly dropped back.

I never got a ticket

 

[Lee bay]

had a speeding fine from spain paid up 50 euro but no points

 

[EuroTrotters]

Only ever had one speeding ticket.

A1 heading East out of Paris.

Annoyingly, I know the spot where the gendarmes sit in wait.

I got distracted by a Big Citroen sat on my tail whilst I was 150 in s 130 zone.

I pulled in to let the Citroen driver pass, he sped off and I got pulled.

I don't really get why anyone would object to paying as others have said at least you are less likely to get points. You do the crime you pay the fine.

No, we've got our borders back

I’m annoyed with my own incompetence I would like to point out!

 

[gus-lopez]

No.
The French use other means to get your info. Dart crossing,EPC plc etc;

Each one is £100 approx and is managed by EPCplc

Terrible company TFL's registration company & runs tolls for many eu states ,is a UK & EU parking/toll fine debt collector & they have no qualms about using illegal,fraudulent & underhand methods to extract money

had a speeding fine from spain paid up 50 euro but no points

If on the autovia then no points anyway for anyone if you are doing under 151kph.Just the 100€ fine with 50% reduction.

 

[bobnick]

Ok if we are playing top trumps.
When we were in Iceland (the country) i got done for doing i think 96 (not sure) in a 80, only £330 on the spot fine. There you go.
