Speeding in Portugal

[n brown]

daughter just got done for speeding .180 days probation ,one foot wrong ,license gone and a possible retest.
the offence was 2 years ago -the Portuguese wheels of justice grind exceeding slow ,but they'll have you in the end !

Their coffers are getting low now

Sorry to hear this , is she Portuguese resident ? Only asking because we were there a couple of weeks ago. Don't think speeding will be a problem but paying tolls, entering from North was not easy.

Sounds harsh, what speed was she doing?

Someone in the UK got a speeding fine 3 years after they’d been there!

Enough to be over the limit?

55 in a 50 limit , but ''zero tolerance '' means exactly that . i only posted because ,who'd remember speeding after 2 years ?

I always thought there was a statute of limitations on this sort of offence.

So what happens if another historical speeding offence turns up in the next six months?

i suspect she can't wait to find out

I think the general statute is 20 years though in some cases it can be reduced to around 5 years
