Almost each time I drive through Belgium I seem to pickup a bill these days. Most recent being 17th Jan., for 99km/h in a 90km/h which was reduced to 93km/h for the penalty charge. No argument from me, it is what it is. I need to get out of the habit of canceling cruise control when I see the change in the limit and letting the car decelerate down to the new limit. €63.10 for my latest transgression.
The penalty notice was posted 24th Jan., reached me today (29th Jan.) I have until 3rd Feb. to pay or it goes up to €76 then €118. The penalty spends as much time in the postal system as I have to deal with it.
Just a warning to those of you out there who may be driving in/through Belgium, they now use a lot of average speed cameras on their motorways and have cameras pretty close to change of speed signs. There is also no telltale flash from a camera in 2024 giving you any warning.

I don't think they can send fines from speed cameras to UK reg cars from the EU any more. Possibly the single benefit of Brexit?
No doubt someone (i.e. WDB) will correct me if I'm wrong.

I wouldn't count on that, DVLA have setup a body in the EU to send fines from the UK to EU. If it has not already been done then I'm sure the EU will reciprocate.
