Speeding on the Continent UK GOV's resp to X Border info
Discussion
Does anyone think this isnt law yet, as reading this we still seem not to be abiding to the EU directive of cross border information sharing on 8 key driving offences?

Looks like we are safe until we eventually leave Europe?

As UK drivers it doesn't mention about reciprocal fines and data sharing on the use of your information as a UK citizen driving abroad on any GOV website
only after digging around can you actually find the information.
And also driving through Europe all the time and being flashed on several occasion no one has actually reported being fined!
I think the Daily Mail would run an artical with a picture of an unhappy UK motorist holding his summons from France or where ever dont you??? I haven't seen anything like that yet?

So been flashed for doing 108 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on the autobahn in Germany, yep fine i did wrong ill pay the fine.
Received a letter 1 month after to the registered keeper (not me) with my picture of my mugshot (RHD side) with the reg below, all in German no English, luckily enough I have a colleague who is Swiss who can speak fluent German and the letter is saying its a caution and pay 10 Euro, but I'm reading where our stupid government have signed up to the this cross border information where the vehicle is registered it has to be in that local langague in this case English.
I have called the DVLA/C and asked them what i need, there advise was to call the German equivalent and ask to have it sent in English, so I proceeded to ask if (Which the UK doesn't) send in reverse (German done for speeding in UK fine sent in English to German resident) could the DVLA/C speak German upon where the Welsh Civil Servant said no, so I said why are you expecting and for me to ask if they speak English. So I said when your giving out my information to some foreign government you don't check whether I am going to be protected under the new EU Cross Border Law, to the answer 'I cant help you any further'
I am going to pay it but this goes to prove again the UK government bow down to European money making schemes.

no your missing the point..
the point im making is that the letter should be in English and not German...if the UK government are going to sign up to these things are be pressured into joining then at least make sure the law is followed when another member state is contacted about an alleged offense.
and this is not a fine this is caution so well pleased im not going to have to pay £60 equivalent. but in the UK 100kph= 62.13712mph so if I was 8kph= 4.970970mph over I wouldn't even be receiving a fine.
