I was driving in Frankfurt at slightly above the speed limit and saw a light flash from the side of the road. It was a rental car. I came back to US now. What is the best thing to do to check and fix?

There is very little leeway on many European speed cams - usually a couple km/hr - and most enforcement is automated, very different from the US. The fine will be sent to the registered owner of the car, if it’s your rental car, the rental company will pay it then charge you for it, generally with an excessive service fee that should have been defined in your rental contract.

There’s probably not a lot you can do other than wait for this to play out if you’re sure you were the one captured and not another driver.

He or she got caught on a speed camera. Sorry, don’t know what the rules are, hope someone can help answer

I would say keep an eye on your CC for unexpected charges. Other than that, not sure what else you can do.

It was definitely me. No one else was on the road at that time. I was thinking of trying to find on their site and pay it myself so I don’t have to pay the service fee

I guess if it just happened you can try to interact with whatever government agency issues the fine, but I wouldn’t put a high chance on that.

If the car is rented in your name, the rental company will charge your card for getting a ticket and the transportation authority (not sure of what it’s called in Germany) will mail you a ticket in the US 😀. I’m talking from my experience in Spain... lol!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
