Nope.. .we are a sovereign nation with our own laws, answerable up to the Supreme Court.

Oh, and how many “points” would you assess for speeding in the UK and then apply to Texas? What about fines? Alternative classroom options that may not be done in the other country but are done here. . .and the UK saying, nope.

I still laugh over the whole thing. . .imagine a Texas trooper in Austin opening the mail and it’s some local magistrate in the UK TELLING Texas they have to fine me and assess points. HAHAHAHA. . .

I think fines imposed in the US ought to be enforced in the UK to, up to the maximum allowed under UK law, if the fine is above that maximum. You should not be able to commit a crime in one country and escape justice in another when it is a crime in both countries.
