Just Been Caught Speeding In Spain

[Urban Sports]

I was caught today on the way down from Barcelona to Valencia by a mobile camera, 95 euro fine on the spot

Am I right in thinking that this will have no repercssions back home on my licence? I just seem to remember reading a while ago that within Europe they were considering applying offences to other countries?

I'm a bit worried as they scanned my licence in the police car!

Correct.

If you paid on the spot, then that's it. The end. 95 Euro sounds cheap though, how fast did they think you were going ?

I was doing about 165 kph but I managed to anchor on at the last second when I saw the little box at the side of the motorway!

They got me at 149 in a 120!!

So much smaller and descreet than the UK ones!!

You got off lightly, just as well it was not France! no UK repercussions.

When captured, the correct response is....

Shouldn't you be fighting some bulls instead of persecuting motorists...?

Remember next time...

It was the first day that you sped
Barcelona
How can you forget
The moment that you stepped onto the gas they took your cash awa-a-a-a-ay
Barcelona
The mobile camera hit the bull
Barcelona -ah-ah

You won't speed again...
Viva! Barcelo-o-ona.

I changed my post, a mere blip in the space/time continuum, or maybe it's the Rioja!

I hear they let you off if you're in a Fiesta....

...or they're playing a bit of Fleetwood Mac

Not in a 3 door or 5 door, it has to be a mata-door.

The Spanish cops have started mounting cameras on the sides of cars, rear facing, if you come up behind a car with an obvious bulge on the side, that's it, probably too late. Another ploy is using a broken down car, with the two obvious hazard triangles, and the pursuit vehicle a little further on.

You've paid your due. End of. It's the way it should be IMO.

However, in this country it would be a series of threatening letters turning up at random intervals demanding money and court appearances, inefficent civil servants making a hash at every step and the matter following you about and costing you money for the next 5 years on your insurance....
