Foreign drivers get away with not paying 180,000 speeding and parking fines every year because British authorities cannot trace them.
The Sunday Telegraph used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain speeding ticket figures from 15 police forces. They showed that foreign drivers in those areas fail to pay 27,000 speeding fines annually - pointing to a nationwide total of about 80,000 unpaid speeding fines a year.
The motorists can escape justice over the fines, which total more than £10?million, because police, councils and speed camera authorities are not able to obtain their details. Statistics released by 36 local authorities also show that foreign drivers got away without paying 54,000 parking fines a year, pointing to a nationwide total of 105,000 unpaid fines.
