"I think for non U.K. licence holders the police do have the power to levy on the spot fines, though how often they do I have no idea... but this one in Kent wasn’t that long ago. How they collect the fine is also unclear!"
Some 20 years ago, whilst travelling back home on the A14, my French boss was pulled over for speeding. The cops escorted him to Newmarket police station and extracted a fine from him; I don't remember how much it was or how he paid, but I remember he was most impressed by the cool, gentlemanly conduct of the officers.
