Regarding the speeding ticket, we are working to improve the enforcement to pay fines this at least within the EU (http://www.e-codex.eu/pilots/financal-penalties.html) . If you live outside, you should be fine, but of course this does not necessary means, there is no obligation to not pay the fine. What could happen, when you are stopped the next time and they run for whatever reason your personal details, might find an open fine and ask you to pay this on the spot. Rare cases, but could happen.

Well, since the UK is not part of the "Währungsunion", this seems to be legit (according the British Government Officials - businesswise we have to wire every 6 months money to them).
