Speeding fine
Hi. I’ve received a speeding fine this morning from Spain where I was on holiday in June. I was driving a hire car, the letter is from the ‘Ministerio Del Interior’ not the hire company. 109 km/h in an 80 zone. My question is, where do I stand with this? Can they enforce it? If I don’t pay what can they do? Thanks
