The full benefits of EU harmonisation now becoming apparent :-)
Thanks Mike.j

She faxed it back confirming she was driver (900E if you don't within 20 days) and is now expecting a huge fine, and they are huge here, I had one once.

Just wondered why they just didn't send the fine as most others seem to get.

However if like Neil and Christine Hamilton you have a canny lawyer and questionable memory, you can say you can't remember which of you was driving though accept one of you was. So the driver can't be fined for speeding because no-one knows who it was..............

In which case I reckon you just pay 900 Euros fine for none disclosure

............and no-one loses their licence, nor possibly pays a price by way of points

Actually I did read but not sure if it's true or not, another country can't put points onto a license from another country.

They may be trying to correct this

If you don't have a good lawyer then you'll get an MS90 code on your licence - in addition to at least 6 points and £500+ fine - which when you tell your insurance company will at least double your insurance cost, if they will insure you at all, for up to 5 years! Or you might get charged with PCOJ which carries a prison sentence. And our politicians are keen that all of the EU harmonise on a similar system
