What happens if it is a foreign driver from some obscure country?

I think that if the car has foreign plates, and is caught speeding then
they mark the plates on a database and send a demand for money to the
keeper/owner with information obtained from the foreign equivalent of
the DVLA.

Assuming that the foreign country can be identified and is co-operative. I
couldn't see them getting much help from, say, Iran or some other
countried - either because of a lack of will or the inability to follow it
up.
Is there anything that can be done of the foreign driver refuses to pay?

If the car is in the UK for more than the allowed time ( I think 6
months) then it will be pulled over at the next ANPR camera it goes past.

If a UK registered keeper nominates a foreign driver, I think standard
practice is to demand proof of insurance for the foreign driver, and
investigate thoroughly, as they'll be looking for evidence of perverting
the course of justice and/or permitting the use of the car with no
insurance.

OK. So you can send them an insurance document in, say, what ever language
they speak in Burma and they are going to follow it up? Would they bring in
an interpret to speak to the Burmese company?
What if the foreign country has no system of mandatory insurance? ISTR that
Soviet Russia was like this.

....and new zealand, no insurance required.
