Because they argued this was an offense in their country, they wouldn't let me back in (despite the fact I was living there for the previous 3 years!) until I paid off the ticket.
You weren't deported. Voluntarily withdrew your application to enter is more likely.

Quite honestly, I think most people would. I've received three speeding tickets in my life and I can tell you offhand the speeds I was going for each.
