Even though the Lithuanian’s are notorious for their driving the statistics indicate that out of all speed violators in December 2009, one third of them were foreigners, Lietuvos rytas daily writes.
151 speed cameras captured 7,908 violators last December and 6.334 in January. However only 5.108 were recognised in December and 3.786 in December. According to the paper drivers on average speed by 29 kilometres.
However, Dainius Salomskas from traffic control with the Lithuanian Police said to the paper that a third of violators are foreigners. “Drivers of transport vehicles with foreign license plates are very undisciplined. They’ve constituted 29 pct of all recorded violations over the recent months. Before, we used to catch some 17 pct of such violators. We have no way of identifying the drivers,” Salomskas said.

I think it is very hard to bribe a camera!
For the article.
It is not a problem to identify the drivers of these violaters, it is simply a matter of will. If Lithuanian police send a request to fx. Danish or Swedis police, with the photo attached, the police in those countries are obligated to or even have a will to cash in the fines for the Lithuanian police.
that simply indicates the scale of corruption.. I assume foreigners bribe much less
