 Driving offences in Europe follow you home - smokie
At last Europe is becoming joined up, bit late for us maybe!! I'm still not absolutely clear whether this means you can get points for speeding abroad but I suspect not.

"The EU has put a system in place to share driver details across borders, for some safety-related driving offences:

"It only applies where the offender isn't penalised while still in the country
It only applies to specific, road safety-related offences:
Speeding
Drink/drug driving
Seatbelt/crash helmet
Red light/forbidden lane, and
Mobile phone offences
The UK joins the system for new offences committed after 6 May 2017"
