Speeding Ticket Receied while in France
« on: »
Dear All, I received 3 speeding tickets while in France - Corsica to be specific.
What should I do ? I understand that they cannot beenforced in the UK since brexit
so what would be the consequence of not paying and ignoring ? Is there a valid representation ?

I have attached a copy of one of them

Thanks in advance

You left you name and address on it.

If you choose to pay 45€ you won't have a problem.

If you don't you might.

If you happen to come to the french authorities attention they could possibly tie things up and enforce them.

From may 25 there is the ETIAS system to allow entry which may make some attempt to tie things up and could theoretically cause an issue.

Oops, thans for the reply, how could they enforce it ?
Would this ETIAS system stop me from entering and driving in France ? what do you mean by "tie things up"

Thanks

They will probably keep a record of the penalties somewhere. Possibly they will go through the French court system. Who know what that might result in.

Then perhaps you had a traffic stop or something.

That might encourage them to consult all their systems. They have some thing in the name of Your Name and an address, possibly a passport number, quite likely a Uk DL no. They may correspond to the individual in front of them. So whatever the process is in France they then follow.

The same is true with entry. They may try and tie it up at point of entry. A bit more difficult, but who knows.

Obviously it's not particularly probable.

There are occasional reports of people having issues.

Although there is no longer access to the DVLA by foreign authorities, in this case, as the driver has been revealed by the Italian hire company the offence may be processed as usual with reminders and increased penalty for up to a year after which, in theory, there could be an outstanding penalty.

The op will not be on any list of outstanding offenders at ports and passports do not have addresses

He will not be in the same vehicle on future visits to France so there is no risk of a check unless he commits an offence with police involvement.

Pay up to stop worrying is the simple answer
