Received traffic citation whilst in America

Got caught speeding last week in the state of pennsylvania, $109 fine, no points. Got 10 days to pay. I flew back from Chicago (Illinois). Now back in the UK. Will this affect me next time I try to go back to America if I don't pay it?

Was it a rental car? If so they may pursue the rental company and get you via a credit card.

mjt · 13 May 2010 at 12:28

Ignore it.

Kutter · 13 May 2010 at 12:32

Yes next time you enter the states

You’ll appear on the most wanted list and end up in Sing Sing if you go back.

mushroomsoup · 13 May 2010 at 12:49

Could make getting a visa to go back difficult prehaps? i don't know.

Dmack · 13 May 2010 at 12:51

just pay it and move on

LiE · 13 May 2010 at 12:53

Why would you not pay it? You've broken the law and now have to deal with the consequences.

Participant · 13 May 2010 at 13:01

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU to pay that ticket.

998cc · 13 May 2010 at 13:02

If you plan on going back to america, pay it. If not, ignore it.

They are forwarding the extradition papers as we speak

Just pay the damn ticket and ignore the fools telling you to forget it. It will almost certainly bite you on the ass right when you don't want it to.

Cosimo · 13 May 2010 at 13:07

Just pay it. Surely it’s not going to break the bank and you’ll be free to return whenever you choose without any hassle.

lcg · 13 May 2010 at 13:10

Do yourself a favour and pay the ticket.

lookitsjonno · 13 May 2010 at 13:12

is it worth the hassle for $109, just pay it

jas72 · 13 May 2010 at 13:21

I got the same 85$ fine for doing a U-turn on their highway (more like a dual carrigeway really) but I was caught lol at 6:25 am no less

You can phone a number in florida and pay with your CC saves any hassle incase I wanna go back another time.

snowdog · 13 May 2010 at 13:25

I would certainly not pay it, this will probably be out of their system after a couple of years. 109 dollars, thats nearly 7 crates of beer. More so don't pay it if you DON'T plan on returning there.

Not UK law. US laws mean bugger all in the UK.

theNude · 13 May 2010 at 13:35

it doesnt come under moral turpitude so it wont effect visas

He broke a US law in the US. Not a US law in the UK.

Just pay the fine and grow some.
