transam Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Those who say they don't pay, there is no issue and laugh it off should not assume we all should. The reason you don't have an issue is because the office that is meant to sort stuff is obviously useless. Where I am they are pretty good at chasing the money. Where our lad works, and is employed by the police, he gets demands turn up at our place quite regularly, all from camera stuff. Whether he has to pay them or not I have no idea.. ????

topt Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 1 hour ago, AI5AASIA said: For an idea of how far along things have come in recent years, take for instance the annual vehicle inspection, which is required after the vehicle reaches 8 years old, the QR code on the test certificate will take you to the DLT website giving all details of the test result. Data like braking percentage shown against each wheel, CO2 emissions result, mileage and even a photo of the car being emissions tested. That is more advanced than the UK which is considered pretty strict. And can you direct us to a site that gives the legal maximum vehicle emissions? There may be a figure but I have never heard it quoted. Forgive me for being somewhat skeptical but how many vehicles have you heard of being failed due to emissions testing, or any testing for that matter?

Jaxxper Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 If you have broken the speed limit and got a ticket(s), why wouldn’t you pay ? Is it the thought that they won’t catch up with you ? If you can’t tax you’re vehicle because of it and you have an accident the insurers could refuse to pay because the vehicle wasn’t road legal. Same would apply if you had no driving licence. Foreigners are the first to complain about laws been broken here and no action taken, then they look to avoid paying the consequences when they break the law. Confused !!

JAS21 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Mrs. J went to Phu Tub Beok with her friends last year. She got pulled over for speeding. It was in a 90 limit. She said to the Policeman I was only doing 100 and you allowed a little. He said not anymore. Fortunately her friends clubbed together and paid the fine for her. I had to smile when she told me. She is always saying why are you driving at 90 and I said because I Pay the fines . I admit I did use one of the apps On one Journey and to some extent they do work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In April 1977, the government announced that the national speed limits for single-carriageway roads was to be increased to 60 mph (97 km/h) and that the 70 mph (113 km/h) speed limit was to be restored on dual-carriageways on 1 June 1977. I just did a quick check; your '70's happened before his '80's. In my limited experience of UK motorway driving, none of the fastest drivers are doing 70 but pushing much over 80 tends to get the attention of radar-enabled cops.

Driving on the 90 km an hour speed limit roads we found that they seem to work you just need to be able to read rhe kilometer post numbers. Also, see what the rest of traffic is doiIng if they all slow down do the same. Another option by a radar detector. the only reliable is Waze.

tlandtday Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I suspect that since they are no longer requiring handing over the license that the new application for displaying your license on the phone will record your info and you will be either issued a warrant or refused reregistering the vehicle in the future if unpaid.
