I got a speed cam ticket from Pima County, AZ (Tucson) in the mail today. I do recall the flash so I was not surprised (I did not think I was driving too fast under the conditions but never mind that). I also got, today, a notice from Hertz that included a bill for $30 default is they charge my cc. The traffic enforcement company (this is contracted out) finds Hertz as the owner of the vehicle (even though it had Washington State plates), Hertz gives them my ID, and probably all the driver license info too, and charges me $30. OK, not worth arguing about.

The ticket, though is $236 for 11 mph over the limit, which is pretty hefty. I live on the east coast. It is my understanding from what I've read on the web (I know, worth what I paid for it) is that there will be no follow up on the ticket unless I am served by a process server, or I waive my rights for service by signing the form and sending them the dough.

I'm wondering if they will try to serve me as I'm out of state.

I'm also wondering if I pay the fine, if it will show up on my driving record here, and result in an insurance surcharge. I did not think this info would cross state lines, and it did not years ago when I got my last speeding ticket, in Utah, but again stuff I read on the web suggests this info is now shared.

Anyone have any experiences with this?
