In reply to the letter by Charles Jenssen from The Netherlands (Tourist Information And Traffic Fines, July 1), if you rent a car/motor vehicle anywhere in the world you are responsible for traffic fines etc.

A work colleague of mine was issued with a speeding ticket in the US on the way to the airport for his return journey to the UK.
