You bunch of compliant enforcers! None of you subjects are the Dominic Little type are you
Actually, its all fair points So what does the UK actually do if, say, a Latvian is GATSO'd? Do we get the big guns out, airmail invoices and flag up a 36 in a 30 insurgent to Border Patrol as well?
I've never received anything in all the times I've travelled around UK in German reg'd cars and bikesActually, its all fair points So what does the UK actually do if, say, a Latvian is GATSO'd? Do we get the big guns out, airmail invoices and flag up a 36 in a 30 insurgent to Border Patrol as well?
I did pay the congestion chage though, I think they do chase you

Had several speeding tickets in Netherlands over last five years. Never paid one and never been nicked on arriving there. File it under bin. They will squawk for a few months then write it off.
please update us next time you fly out of thereI've been pulled out of line at Schiphol, parking fine, 40 euro, and been told with a smile at Hoek van Holland ferry port that they could legally seize my car - I owed 6 euro for a late payment of a fine

I wonder if they use ANPR to flag plates which have previously been subject to an unpaid fine... that would be harsh for hire cars. I'd feel sorry for anyone who takes the VW CC hire car I recently used back into the Netherlands.

He's getting on a plane!
Would love to know the detail on locking a non resident, non citizen 'tourist' for an overdue petty fine? Trying to relate it back to common sense, fact and UK... If a Balkan trucker hasn't paid his congestion charge in UK a few times - do we REALLY put them in jail within a few minutes of accosting them if he's skint/not the driver/doesn't even work for the same company/freelancer? Just looking for some fact here...

I managed to get pulled less than 10 minutes after clearing customs at Paphos on Saturday night. 88 kph in a 50, deserted two lane dual carriageway in the middle of nowhere with a 30mph limit. Bit annoying, but I'll pay the €50 fine as its my car over here registered at my holiday home, so no point trying to dodge it, as it'll just cause more grief.
First time I've been caught anywhere in 17 years, so I'm pretty chuffed it was over here, as no points.

Just found out that the f***ers at Avis Budget, rather than deducting 2x €42.35 as per their letters to me have actually deducted £197.84, or €236 on today's exchange rate. No explanation as to why.

Isn't that one fine + admin charges? If so, I would not be surprised if you would see the second one shortly as well.Email sent to customer services.
That is why I mentioned earlier in the thread, normally they lift it straight from the hire company.
