That has yet to be decided, but as it stands the situation is not equal between the U.K. and the rest of the EU. Currently although EU countries can send fines to the U.K. for speeding offences in their countries the U.K. is unable to send speeding fines to residents of other EU countries. In the U.K. the driver is responsible for the offence whereas in most other EU countries the owner of the car is responsible. There is no legal mechanism for the U.K. to compel foreign vehicle owners to reveal who was driving. So the U.K. has never sent a fine abroad, but we receive over 300,000 from the EU.
