140 in a 120. 100 euros with a 30% discount if paid on time. Says on the ticket (automated) "You have committed a grave offence..." Then goes on to say "This offence does not affect your licence" (no points). Doesn't bother me anyway as I have a brit licence. Kind of suggests that here it's even more of a cash collection system here than in Blighty, as at least in the yuk with totting up for minor speeding offences, your licence can be taken away preventing you from paying any more speeding fines. However, here in the summer, if you chuck a fag-end out of the window it's 4 points and a fine. If said fag-end starts a fire, foreign licence or no, you're away for a few years. -- Paul.

Good idea IMO. A few years ago I was hit in the face by a discarded cigarette end. Police didn't want to know.
Eh? Spanish licences have points and have had for a while now. Officially, you should now trade in your licence for a Spanish one. But I'll be surprised if they can be bothered chasing it up. It's not just the summer though, is it?
Of course not, if they thought it improved your looks. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools. How much more suspenseful can you get?" - House
that reminds me - I got flashed by the camera in the Rotherhide tunnel, doing about ~15% over the limit. How long between flashing and getting the NIP? This was about 6 weeks ago - is it safe?
They have 14 days to issue the NIP, but that means **** all if you don't receive it. Issuing the ticket simply means sending it out, they don't take any responsibility for you not getting it. You have to prove they didn't issue the ticket within the alloted time It's one more case where you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent, and with no access to the ticket office and their records there is no possible way of proving they didn't send it within the time. I tried to get access to the ticket office records, I was refused.
Erm, did you read my post? They have points but this grave speeding offence doesn't cost any points. Erm, who told you that? It used to be the case and got changed years ago. Nobody told the Guardia Civil and they kept on fining people who had then to reclaim the fine money. -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird (Buen mueble de patio) And a pushbike of some sort.
