Assuming we will still be part of the EU :twisted:

Is driving a bit slower an option???????

Looks like we need a confessional forum!

Anyone else?

OK Guv, it's a fair cop. Fieberbrunn, 34kph in a 30kph area. By radar. Sent via car hire company, (who helped themselves to some fees)

Aware of the possibility of being put in the stocks at the border at Kufstein, (made worse, by having bought a season pass), I later slipped my younger son the €30, as he left for a spring trip to the Austrian Lakes. He duly paid, but left the receipt on the hotel table.

I then spent 3 years travelling by backroads around Austria, using an assumed name.

A couple of years earlier, I was stopped for having too much snow on the car roof. My Deutsch was just good enough to get out of this. I talked about my sick sister, how my business was in trouble, how great was Angela M, etc...

I feel awful, that I have let the J2ski side down.

I've paid up now. The IBAN charge was £10 so it cost me £36 in all. I thought I was driving within the limits, as I always do over here of course ;-)
Tirol didn't offer an online payment option so I couldn't avoid the charge.

7kph over the limit and they chase me for a poxy £26. Annoying!!!
