A cop got me after internext
 

After the internext we went to the Grand Canyon south rim and made a great helicopter tour. Than we went back in our rental car, till a cop showd up in the mirror. I was driving only 100 mph. After he pulled me down i got my first speeding ticket in the USA. He let us make a picture where he was handing over the ticket to me. So we had another great souvenir after 3,5 weeks USA.

But it was a nice cop. He got me for speeding 10 mph to fast (i was driving 25 mph to fast). Next time have to be more carefull and not driving like i do in the Netherlands. He told me i could take a course instead of paying a fine, but i have no time to stay longer. It will cost me another 165 dollars. I have to look up what they will do when i not pay, they don't have my current address ;)

Great country we loved driving Route 1 from San Francisco to Los Angelas, Palm Springs en Vegas. Next time we will drive slower (or watch if there are any cops in the neigborhood).

Those are both very different drives, but both pretty magnificent. I have to give the edge to Hwy 1 through Big Sur.

You?

They show you the bill and a lot of bullshit the next time you visit the country. Happen to me.....:error

I've been to the Holland 3 times and never seen a policeman. That's how cool as fuck the dutch are :)

Our route was very different indeed. We never made this much pictures on previous holidays, but this time there was so much to see that we had to. First we stayed 4 nights in San Francisco and started route 1 (the beginning of route 1 is astonishing), Monterey (Whale Watching), Big Sur (Woods), Morro Bay, Santa Barbara (great city). That route was perfect to drive! The rest was not so fun to drive. But we liked Los Angeles Universal Studios and Hollywood, and also the Areal tram in Palm springs and the city itself. There we visited also the Joshua Tree National Park. The drive from Vegas to Grand Canyon is boring, we stayed at Williams, a small city with nothing to do in this time of year. Cause we had hunger we also stopped at the Roadkill cafe in Seligman. We saw it was part of route 66.

But the 1 hour helicopter flight at the south and North rim we will never forget! I pay the fine, and will later laugh of the souvenir with the cop on the photo.

Now staying in downtown Vegas for the last 2 nights after 3,5 weeks vacation/work. Been to David Copperfield and go to Le Reve in the Wynn tomorrow.

WTFs?!?

Show us some pics :thumbsup

pay the bill, they have long memories. I got busted for some unpaid tickets after about 7 years:2 cents:

We once did a roadtrip from Vegas(through Joshua Tree Park) > San Diego > LA > San Fran(Hwy 1).

Had a few stops in between (Pismo Beach for example. Not recommended :1orglaugh )

Big Sur kicks ass, especially at the end of the afternoon. I think both drives are awesome and can't really chose to be honest :P

Take care :1orglaugh

if you don't pay they send it to your car rental agency and they charge your card + admin fee

Awesome. I'd charge that shit back in a hurry. :)

www [dot] etrafficcitation [dot] com will handle your speeding ticket if it was issued from Las Vegas

I still have an unpaid parking ticket in NY from 1998.

Cool story dude, thanks for sharing! :thumbsup

Pretty sure that only applies to parking tickets, not a citation that you signed promising to appear.

A failure to appear on a ticket is the same as skipping bail, which means you can be arrested in other states for it.

where is the picture of the cop handing you the ticket?

good ole' officer friendly

Tsk Tsk Tsk. Speeding ticket.

Yea I was going to say, not sure how this goes for out of country people, but for us natives, they consider it a failure to appear and usually put out a warrant in your name. soooo Unless you want a potential detour the next time you come over... pay it.

mine was from about 97 in NY as well, got stopped at the border and arrested for it. Hope you dont get stopped in NY State or your ass is grass:2 cents:

me too, they wanted to haul me off to jail in florida in the middle of the night for unpaid tix

good thing I'm blonde & busty :-)

i ve paid it
 

I have paid it. The cop gave me a envelop and instructions. I want to be in the USA more, without any trouble. I will post our pictures when we got back on my site. You can see more trips i've made on my site. www.traveltube.nl
