i need some friendly advice that i know i can find here. i got pulled over in a small town in massachusetts this weekend. as the speed limit went down through a town, the officer clocked me at 61 in a 40. he only wrote it for 50 though. i got lucky there.

now here are the options. i can pay the ticket and hope that it doesn't hit my connecticut record or insurance. anyone know if these transfer??? or i can fight it. the officer got my address wrong (connecticut does address changes on the rear of licenses and he didn't check). he also said my car was a sedan and it's wagon.

any advice?? my instincts are the just pay it.

I earned 2 shiny 25+ speeding tickets in 3 days while visiting Maine in 1999. They were picked up immediately by my insurance co.(Dairyland). Mass. is probably even more likely to transfer the info. b/c they're closer and typically more advanced.

I suggest you send it in Not Guilty on EVERY ticket b/c if they don't automatically dismiss the minimal 10mph, they'll at least offer a reduced fine at court to keep you from going to next level.

Good luck, bud.

on average and absolutely none ever appear on my driving record. I assume it's only when you don't pay and then that said state revokes your right to drive in that state ~~~~then they are likely to inform the registry in your state. FWIW-ticketed in N.Y,CT,MD,RI,NH,FL,OK,SC (had to pay immediately then).

Damn. I just sent in a NH ticket I got... 82 in a 65. Didn't pay; I'm fighting. If it doesn't go on my record I should have paid. Only $130 or something. In MA it would have been $372183721738721317381.

mass does give uot revenue tickets. it clearly states on these that no points/reports will result if you plead guilty and pay. if it doesn't say this, points and report wil follow conviction.

I have first-hand experience with that one.

Don't know what to tell you-but if you call the rmv you can ask them and they'll tell you their procedures with out of state.

I got hit at 30 mph over the limit in NY..paid it...points never appeared on my Mass. license

yes they do call the registry and notify them.
Mass is strange you either do or you dont here.

Both the NH and MA RMVs say the states share ticket info as of August 2000.
