speeding fine!
Discussion
hi all
i have just returned from working in Sevilla (spain) i have recieved 2 speeding fines!!
They amount to 520 euros
my company wont pay the fine (i dont expect them to)
Yes i know i was speeding and i should be punished but 520 euros sounds a bit much!
the question i have is if i dont pay the fine what would be the repocusions?
can they chase me from another country?
regards
Andy

yes i was thinking of that! but i dont want to go back to spain either with work or holiday, hand over my pasport at customs to then be stopped entry till i pay the fine?
i know it sounds a bit drastic but i am not sure how they chase fines etc?
it gets slightly more complicated as the car was hired to a work colleage and me as a named driver. he only stayed there a week and i stayed on with the car. i was then flashed speeding and he as the one who hired the car recieved the ticket! and then gave it to me to sort out! if i do nothing he may get chased for it, and i could not do that.

seems you may be able to ignore for the moment, I got a notice from the states for using a Toll road without paying for the electronic tag - I tried paying by calling the court office but got some carmelita who couldnt understand my accent - been back twice since and never been questioned at immigration and they dont come stricter than there. Take a chance and ignore the robbing b**st**ds(520 euros
) , looks from that link as though they dont have a process in place for chasing drivers from other countries. YET!!!!!
