Unless you are able to prove you were in jail or a coma, it is almost impossible for a judge in this country to oppose an extradition demand in an EAW.
Lawyer Han Vallenduuk says affected drivers should immediately seek the advice of a UK specialist lawyer, who might have contacts in the country where the EAW originated and who can translate legal documents.
Fair Trials International (FTI) says anyone arrested abroad should also contact consular authorities and avoid signing any documents written in a language they do not understand. FTI assists people arrested in a country other than their own. www.fairtrials.net or 020 7822 2370.
