[Help] Advice on Spanish speeding ticket

[AmexRuislip]

Got a ticket in 82 driving from malaga to Madrid, well the motorcycle cops didn't give us a ticket just took the cash, lucky we hid most of the cash before getting pulled over. Falklands situation didn't help.

That's one hell of a bike trip

Hi, somehow I managed to get a speeding ticket on my recent holiday to Gran Canaria.
I don't remember exceeding any limits but who knows.

Question is, do they follow up on them? They got my address from the car hire company.

I go there regularly so if I don't pay it will it make future visits difficult?

Unless you have good reason to contest it I’d be honest and pay it......and not be a pathetic weasel about it.

What did the Falklands have to do with Spain?

At the time I was 'caught' it was 23:42 and the only night I was on that stretch of road at that time, it was raining heavily and the roads get greasy so there is no way I would have been speeding.
But how do I challenge that without going to Court?

As I recall, they were very anti the British attempt to reclaim the Falklands -affinity with their cousins in South America and of course the issue of Gibraltar was never far from their minds.

I reckon they will as they seem very hot on speed limits.

Are you planning on going back to Spain? This will make a difference.

Pay it, the hire company will share your details with the police (and charge you for it). If you pay the fine in the first 30 days it’s half price. I.e. it doubles in price soon
