Answer 1

I agree, take responsiblility.  They may have an extradition treaty with wherever you're going and the fines may end up as something worse, possibly jail time!

Answer 2

Hire a lawyer asap.

Answer 3

Answer 4

It depends where you go and where your driving licence is registered. If you are going to another EEC country you will need to sort it out before you go, they will find you! If you're going out of EEC you may get away with it, but again it depends on your next country of residence. If the car is registered in your name the penalties will show up if someone does a check. Let's hope they do!

Your speeding is a crime, if you look at it as a percentage it's 30% more than the designated limit. These limits are normally imposed because you are near a school or a residential area, where a child could run into the road. Be thankful it's only a speeding fine and you didn't injure or kill a child.

Answer 5

you postpone your trip and take responsibility for your actions, no matter how minor they may be!!!

Answer 6

Reply to the notices of prosecution so that you will have no criminal records and will have no problem in the future.
