EU Car Fines Crackdown - romeo156
I see in the paper this morning that from 2007 all EU contries can chase for payment of fines in other EU countries.

Interestingly, it appears that the money will stay with the country that collects the cash rather than whose fine it was. Does that mean that we in the UK will get another "Stealth Tax" when our government can see a way of bleeding us dry again.

Perhaps we shoud run a poll, which country will be the best / worst at collecting others fines?
