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
