Before I get flamed, I did search before posting. This is a different question (to what happens if I don't pay).

My friend and I where down in WA and we get pulled over for speeding... and get a ticket.

The ticket WILL be paid.

So, given that, what happens to our canadian record? Does the ticket showup in our records (or at least in the driver's record?). Anything we should be concerned of?

Also, is there any sort of law/policy regulating how many tickets you can get in the states? I belive this is his second in 2 years... both of them have been paid.

You will be arrested and raped by black guys in jail

No, the ticket does not show up on the record. If you pay, you don't have anything to be concerned about.

pay the ticket, US record is US record, canadian record is canadian record
however if u dont pay it, US has the right to put a warrant on ur name, so if u happen to be flagged going across the border again, u could be arrested. this is if u dont pay, and the ticket escalates to that point

if you ever want to enter the US, pay the ticket..

[racerman88]

no worries if you pay for it

[tiger_handheld]

there are usually no repercussions with abiding by the law...

On the flip side does my US driving record get tarnished if I get a ticket in Canada? I live in Vancouver but study in Washington so...

I may have stumbled on something amazing. If I get two licenses.....

Haha no I was thinking more like this:
US Ticket: present Canadian license, pay the ticket, and avoid higher insurance premiums. Canada I'll just do the opposite, flash my US license. I'm 19 so I get massive insurance bills. Sorry for being confusing!

If you're even eligible to apply for the license, it's going to have a field that asks if you own a license from any other country.

I'm pretty sure this will somehow prevent you from having two licenses with two separate records.

From what i remember, if you are caught with an unpaid violation in the county you are in or the state, then they will arrest you. You should be okay to drive in another state if you have an unpaid ticket in another state. This is from what i know and what i have found out on my research that i have done about 2.5years ago when i got busted driving down in the states. Tried to dispute it by sending a written mail with tracking, and when i kept checking if they received it or not, they kept saying that it was not received (even though tracking says it did). This was an actual legit dispute because I was literary keeping up with traffic, and i got dinged for speeding over 20miles/h. Anyways, i didn't bother going back south, atleast Whatcom County that is...

if your already being dinged with high premiums, why add more to it?

what i would suggest is not to insure a car under name for a few years to save up money and let your premiums go down a bit...
if your not too wreckless of a driver, ask your parents to put your name under their insurance... if you are a wreckless kind of driver, maybe just take the transit... otherwise your premiums will just skyrocket...

From what i remember, if you are caught with an unpaid violation in the county you are in or the state, then they will arrest you. You should be okay to drive in another state if you have an unpaid ticket in another state.
if your already living in the states, you can most likely get away with this but if you travel accross the boarder, theres no way to escape... dont the boarder gaurds scan the plates right away??? or only if they suspect you??
