Speeding tickets from across the water.

[bobnick]

Paid the fine on line. Sent licence off for whatever.
Any idea how long before they send it back to me?

not sure why you have to send the license off unless its to confirm your not scamming them by pretending to be someone else.

Clearly stated to send license to given address.
Have confirmation fine is paid.
Confused

The new owners will bin them too having never been to the place the offence was alleged I'd imagine.

More likely they will fill in the section that reports that they were not the owners at that time and pass it back down the line, of if they have any sense they will.

They won't because they won't be contacted In the first place. I was the registered owner of the vehicles at the time ,I received the fine and subsequent letters and binned them accordingly. Its highly unlikely they are then going to go back to dvla and send letters to anyone else. The one from Portugal was in 2019 and the one from Hungary was in February/ March in Budapest.

Neither will ever be paid , the Portuguese one I was told by the gnr at the time I wasn't receiving a fine just a warning ...he lied and 2 years later they sent a fine. Its been binned. The parking ticket in Budapest was from a parking spot miles from anywhere with no clear signage saying it was a pay online parking , it was binned there and then , epc then sent a letter sometime june/July which also got binned. I'm now not in the country till next April so any subsequent letters won't be received.

Different vehicle now and no intention to be back in Hungary in the foreseeable future, Portugal I may well be but Different vehicle and unless I meet a very particular gnr officer who can prove I'm the same person I doubt I'll ever hear anymore about it.

Surely the top line is the MGW the next the max train weight, and the other two are axle weights.

It is - pointed out to me last week but can't edit or delete.

I saw a report on french tv today saying that people were getting tickets even though they did not exceed the limit. France did an experiment of dropping the speed limit on national roads from 90km to 80km.

This has now been reversed most places, but apparently some of the speed cameras have not been reset back up to 90km/h, and are still flashing and producing fines even though people are not breaking the law.

 

[Steve and Denise]

Can you please clarify your comment about different coloured borders indicating different speeds?

Thanks

Typical of the French picking on people with disabilities

Correct!

WEIGHTS & VIN PLATES!

The information here is based on a motorhome conversion of a commercial chassis but it holds true for virtually any vehicle.VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number.It's a unique 17 digit number which includes coded information such as Country of Assembly, the Manufacturer, the Body Style...

I've had epc chasing me for 2 years

Absolute scum of a company.Couldn't lie in bed straight. Willing to use any legal or illegal methods to extort money & get you to pay.

What happens if they go after the new owners?

the UK requires the actual driver at the time.everyone elsein europe gives the fine to the owner

And if the driver doesn't come forward the vehicle owner gets the fine.

Currently in France in our high top pvc and got flashed by a speed camera pointing at me on the side of the N248. The limit was 80kph and having seen the radar area ahead signs a click or so before the camera I was duly watching my speed. As I approached the camera I was definitely only doing 75kph and was astonished that it flashed me.

Could it be that it picked me up way further down the road before I had checked my speed? I did stray over a couple of times and my satnav squawks at me if I do go over ( and I usually correct asap) so was I just unlucky that I might have been “just over” way before the camera could be seen?

May have thought you were HGV

 

[bobnick]

Got flashed several times last year. Turns out the camera thought i was a truck No ticket/fine issues.

 

[Googlebot]

Same with the caravan in tow. Flashed several times and wondered why as was much less than the limit.

I have posted this elsewhere but I wonder what ANPR cameras and associated computers make of our Polish vintage plate, which reads AAXXA followed by a depiction of a 1920s. Car

Does anyone with ANPR knowledge know the answer?

Why not do a bit of 'personal' research and get flashed to see what happens!

As said it thought you were a hgv
I got flashed a few times last week,all well under limit, due to having the roof box on.

Can you suggest which country would be cheapest Mel?

I try all of them to ensure your research is robust

They got me in Germany yesterday, just driving along and metal box on the verge flashed
Best of luck getting anything as I won’t be taken alive

Dunno, never been done ... I move too fast for their cameras so they just get a blur!

Get a faster bike then

You must be shifting, top gear did a test with a Gatso camera many years ago, i forget which car they used, but i think they had to do about 190mph past it for it not to get a picture of the car.

That wouldn’t matter, they’d still be going faster than me.

Amalfi today…..

 

[Emmit]

The only time I've driven a car on the Continent was about 30yrs ago
when I drove down the German Autobahns to Bavaria.

I was in a Cavalier screaming it's head off at about 80mph and the only things
I overtook all day were Lada's and lorries.

The German drivers almost to a tee 'held back' to allow me out and get back into
the inside lane. There was none of this 'Bugger you' (I wonder what the German
translation of that is), "I'm coming through."

There is no road etiquette or manners in Italy……I’ve just joined in.
