Foreign speed cameras: points on British driving licence?

by Conrad Murray — last modified 2006-12-21 11:38

What happens if I am caught by a speed camera abroad? Do I get points on my licence?

Answer:

It seems that at present, you are unlikely to get points on your licence but it is believed that there are measures in the pipeline to correct this "loophole."

Also be aware that if you are stopped by police for speeding in countries such as France, you may be fined on the spot and in cases of very high speed, your vehicle may even be impounded.
