cost of speeding - car owner want to hold back money
A client want to hold back some money because of possible speeding fines (One known issue, perhaps others).
What exactly is he liable for if I don't pay?(If I were actually driving and admit to it in writing).
Is there some way I can track down any issues and prove everything is OK?
What would be a reasonable amount to hold back, and time to hold it?
Would he be liable for fines from abroad (Which can take a long time before they show up)?
Do I have some leverage towards him by threatening not to pay?
> A client want to hold back some money
Tell him to eff off. I've never heard of a contract that specifies a retainer for potential fines.

> What exactly is he liable for
If he declares you as the driver, nothing.

No

> What would be reasonable
To tell him to ram his stupid and illegal ideas up his own rear end. You might care to reword that...
