If they can then knowing that would have saved me tearing the house apart when I couldn't find my printed insurance cert last month.
They can't (or don't) follow up on speed camera flashes for UK visitors at the moment but I know there are moves afoot to change that in the fairly near future and you'll be getting virtual points on (actually off ) your licence.

That's changed. They now can and do track you to the UK, as many tourists on their way to catch the ferry in calais will no doubt attest!! According to the German POlice that stopped me, they can check, but I think it's by a phone call as they couldn't do it late at night and so cut my number plates off and made me park the vehicle up.
