Speeding in the UK

Fairly sure I got snaped by a Gatso in Wales a few weeks ago.

I'm guessing that I won't get penalty points out of this but the UK authorities can and maybe will track me down with the fine ?

perhaps im wrong but i understood the uk and eire came to an agreement a couple of years back to share the points system so to speak.

in 2005 there was something like 40,000 people who escaped points due to having a licence issued outside of their jurisdiction

As far as I know they cannot trace you... it is only a few years ago they closed the looop between the mainland UK and NI.

I thought that was just ROI and Northern Ireland ?

They can't get your details. Don't worry about it. It is the police in cars you need to watch out for.

Thanks guys.

I had heard rumours of speeding tickets appearing from the UK maybe a year after speeding and such.

the only cross border deal concerns people banned for dangerous driving....as already said, its the coppers in cars that you need worry about...
