Today a letter have appeared in my mailbox in the USA. From what I understand, it is a traffic ticket, from Germany. I just want to know if traffic tickets can be enforced to US Authorities.
Best Answer
It is very unlikly that either from the German side (making a request) or the US side (complying the request) that anybody will undertake anything.
As the quote below states, Germany will not enforce US fines.
That would emply that there is no agreement between the two countries in this matter (as there are within the EU).
It is probably considered a too costly affair.
Unless you are caught again by the same state commiting a further traffic offence (where they would then see that there is something open), nothing is likly to happen upon return.
Was droht, wenn ich Forderungen aus den USA nicht bezahle?
Bußgelder aus den USA lassen sich in Deutschland nicht vollstrecken, allerdings müssen Verkehrssünder ggf. mit Problemen bei der Ein- bzw. Ausreise rechnen.
What if I don't pay claims from the United States?
Fines from the USA cannot be enforced in Germany, but traffic offenders may face problems when entering or leaving the country.

What happens if you get a ticket in Germany?
Traffic fines in Germany tend to be quite small. Fines for speeding start at 15 EUR in city limits and 10 EUR outside of city limits. Those small fines are for exceeding the speed limit up to 10 km/h and hour. Speeding up to 20 km/h only results in a fine of 35 EUR and 30 EUR respectively.How do I pay a German traffic fine?
To pay your fine, just take the ticket into your local bank and they will generate a direct deposit from your account to the issuing authority. A penalty order (Bu\xdfgeldbescheid) is issued if the initial violation carries a fine \u20ac40 or greater or if a warning ticket is not paid.How many points does it take to lose your license in Germany?
In Germany, once a driver accumulates four to five points, he or she will receive a warning, along with information about the points system. With six to seven points, a driver must attend two 90-minute seminars within three months of notification. With eight or more points, the driver's license is revoked.SPEEDING TICKETS IN GERMANY
