So if you get a traffic ticket in a foreign country does it follow you?
I've been planning some foreign countries and I just wonder if I happen to get a speeding ticket will it have any consequences once I get back home

It's a rent-a-car. You can always settle with rental company.
If you don't pay the fine, you can never go back.

@sree251 which I did, because I didn't want to be banned from going back

@SW-User Keep thinking positive you will be okay. Just research the laws in that country, just simple precautions is all you need to remember

If you rent a car they will pass the fine on to you or just take the amount plus a service fee from your credit card.
If you take your own car abroad it depends on whether your country cooperates with others to provide driver details. If you are stopped by the authorities they will take your details, but cameras rely on cooperation.

If you commit a crime in your country that will stop you from being allowed to enter another country.
Speeding tickets don’t count unless they result in Jail time.

If you are renting a car then it will likely follow you financially dependingbif it is a in person ticket or a radar or red light camera.

depending on the country, "IF" you get back home... You could end up spending 4 years in a Turkish prison!

Now that computers have taken over the world leaving nowhere to hide, department of transport computers talk to each other internationally. This now links North America to South America electronically and North America to anywhere in Europe that has indoor plumbing.
What this means is, if you're from the USA visiting Canada and you get a speeding ticket in Canada, the authorities in the USA and your insurance company will know about it before you make it back to your hotel or RV campsite.
If you're visiting the USA from Europe and get a speeding ticket in Florida using a rented car, the authorities in your home country in Europe will know about it the instant the Florida State Trooper presses 'send' on his hand-held ticket machine.
The reason for this is that each country is now responsible for collecting fines incurred in foreign countries from the offender, who pays those fines at the time of his/her license renewal in his home-country, at which point those fines are sent as a bank e-transfer back to the country where the fine was incurred.
