speeding ticket
i just got a speeding ticket for doing 75 on 65 limit.
i am thinking of just paying off that ticket as i will be moving out of california next week.
do you think it will have any effect when i convert the licence ?

it won't have any effect as long as you pay the ticket off before you convert it. hell it may have no effect even if you don't pay it - they just asked me a bunch of questions no one in their right mind would say "yes" to when i did it.
"do you have any pending tickets?"
"no"
"has your license been suspended or revoked?"
"no"
"are you under the influence of any prescription drugs"
"no"
ect.
but if you don't pay it, i don't know how it is in cali, but in illinois and several other states i've lived in, they will issue a warrent for your arrest and that **** seems to always pop up at a bad time.

The national system is updated monthly at best. Your ticket will never show up. I had a suspended license for a parking ticket I never received(rain+wipers turned it to paste). The issue was clear for 6 months but when I moved it showed on the national database. NJ is very fast to suspend, very slow to publish :P

thanks all for your feedback.
i am living in a county here which is ticket happy.
i was surprised to be pulled over on the highway by a non CHP officer. I thought before only CHP could have such authority but....all **** could happen in kally.
anyway...i will definitely pay this ticket off and be DONE with kallyphornia

i would be carefull what you do, friend of mine got a ticket in GA and within 3 weeks his FL drivers licence was suspened, he finaly paid the ticket and the points went on his FL drivers licence....even though the ticket was issued in GA by the GA police and he lives in FL.
Im not talking near the FL/GA border, this was Atlanta and Orlando.
His insurance also went up as a result of the points.
They might be slow to get it going, but it definetly can affect your other licence.

If you're really worried about it then take the traffic school option. That way the ticket will not show up on your record. Many counties now have on-line traffic school available so you can still take it after you move.

cops in california seem to have too much time in their hands to go after minor traffic violations rather than focusing on criminal activities.

No offense William, but a couple of observations for all... I have never seen anyone really get a ticket for 75 in a 65. Come on, be real with us, weren't you really doing maybe 80 or so and the cop discounted it a bit?
Also, we've all been there, so you get a speeding ticket once for every couple of hundred times that you've actually been speeding. That's the price. Once in a while we all get caught.
Just pay the ticket and don't make matters any worse.
