Austrian Speeding Ticket

[Neonblau]

The other day I got a speeding ticket from Austria - fixed camera I think - some four months after the event.

There's no translation with it but it's addressed to my name and address but , very specifically, it details a sate of birth after my name which is 21 years after I was born.

Anyone had any experience of one of these?

If you need to go back there pay it, if not don't.

How did they get your address?

Mutual EU information sharing, they'll will have obtained the details from the DVLA.

Send it back with a note saying "Please send in English". Nothing more or less.
You will probably hear nothing further.

These fines are enforceable - but collection is associated with cost
Austrian/German fines are often sig lower than here or in some Mediterranean countries
what's the ticket - i.e. if it's worth less than 100 quid and enforcement poss. costs 200 they won't bother
if it's worth 3 k and enforcement costs 200- do the Maths
yes and they ll keep your offence on file for some time so if you enter Austria they might enforce it then....

Could you not say that someone with that name and birthday are not known at that address as well?

wouldn't that defeat the objective of needing it translated??????
