Switzerland - speed cameras - flashed

[jwo]

Obviously all hypothetically…

Flash by a camera in a tunnel 100limit - doing 120kph..

Do the Swissers both pursuing fixed camera infringements in UK (UK registered car, not hire car etc).. Asking for my hypothetical friend of course.

Thanks in advance

Not this again!

They have no access to DVLA. Any more than UK plod can access Swiss vehicle details.

That was my understanding 👍. Just don’t get caught in person. 500 through Black Forest tomorrow..

Just don't take that number plate back to Switzerland as that's the only way they can get you.

What happens to the new owner if the car is sold and they return to Switzerland?

One would assume you simply prove that you obtained the vehicle since the previous infraction.

So the DVlA will give driver details to any fly by night dodgy car park operator in the UK but not the Swiss national police?

Correct. Or the French, Germans, Norwegians, Estonians, any country you like. Except Eire where there has been a reciprocal agreement since before Brexit.

Nonsense - I can tell you for a FACT that Switzerland can and will send speeding tickets to the UK....

Isn't it only a problem if you go back there?

The DVLA will not GIVE anything to anyone but the British Police, they will SELL information though, to the dodgy car park operaters and anyone else with reason to buy it.

My best mate was an Irish cop, now retired, likes nothing more than lighting up UK cameras in Irish registered cars for fun, as he knew there would be no comeback, a lot of misimformation on this thread lol.

They will if you were driving a hire car, since they will have your driver details from the agreement.

The Swedish and Norwegian road agencies sent toll invoices to me a few months after a visit. They could have only received my address from the DVLA.

I think some on here can't seem to compute the difference between driving a hire car v driving their own car abroad

Were you driving your own car? Or were you driving a hired one that you had to provide your driving license to hire?

Information sharing ceased after Brexit. I've done it the other way, flashed in the UK in a EU registered car and heard nothing. They can still request details but there's no obligation to give them and they will only do so for more serious offences.

Having said that, if there is a way the Swiss will be the ones to find it.

My own car, although this was in 2020, just before Brexit was implemented. It is possible as the poster above says, that sharing info has now ceased.

Its called the Cross Border Enforcement Directive and it ceased to apply to the UK after Brexit. It facilitates automatic sharing of information between European countries for road safety offences, though if you do something more serious than speeding they can still request your details via other means.
