Which court is this from? Have you had any other correspondence?

The real speeding experts hang out here. (http://forums.pepipoo.com/) I suggest you repost your question there with all the details ASAP.

Directive 2011/82/UE of Parliament and the Council of 25 October 2011 of facilitating cross-border exchange of information on traffic violations affecting road safety, published in the Official Journal of the European Union L 288 / 1 of 11.05.2011

The Germans have given the UK the information related to your speeding fine in Germany and have requested that the UK act as collection agent on their behalf.

I thought the UK, Ireland and Denmark had not adopted this one though.

All that directive 2011/82 does is to give mutual access to vehicle registration databases so as to enable drivers to be identified. Moreover, the deadline for implementation of the Directive is not until November 2013.

There is, however, an earlier directive on mutual recognition of financial penalties and it sounds like this is what has been used in this case. I was not aware that it applied to low-level offences like road traffic infringements. Nor was I aware that the UK had opted into that one (this is Schengen/Justice and Home Affairs-related stuff, so the UK can remain out if they want or they can opt-in).

It sounds like the OP would be particularly prone to this:

If you're going to claim you can't speak German in court, I recommend not making an error like this ;)
