Awesome. Make vivid notes of the roads and route please - I'm doing the same later in the year. Would be good to understand your experiences with the route.

Have fun!

Cheers

Chris.

From what I understand if you " flash " a camera in Spain, you will receive the fine in the post back in the UK.

If you don't pay, the Spanish authorities will institute proceedings against you plus costs.

I didn't think the legislation for data sharing had been implemented yet. More likely to be that this relates to rental cars and the rental companies just pass on the details of the hirer to the authorities and they then pursue. Not sure though.
