Is anyone able to advise of the current effect of foreign speeding violations on a UK licence? I've just been notifed by my hire company that they have been told of a traffic violation (I presume speeding) in the Netherlands and have passed my details to the Dutch authorities.

As I say, I assume speeding and if that's the case although I didn't intentionally speed, I'll pay any fine that comes my way. But if there are points levied...can they go on a UK licence?

I've done some googling and all I can find is some agreement in 2015 which allows cross border authorities to share details to levy fines. Can't see any chat on points.

Thanks

106 km/h in a 100 km/h zone...bds!

I'll be returning to the country regularly so will have to pay the EUR45 fine.
