Default Need advice with out-of-state speed ticket (long)

I got a speeding ticket (my first in this country, 6 years of driving!) last weekend in Florida while driving from Miami to Key West in a rental car (I noticed too late that they check this highway like crazy. I now realize why I saw so many cars with radar detectors, still quite rare here in California. They put an awfully low 45 mph limit on stretches of Hwy 1. I suspect this is a major revenue source for Monroe county PD...).

My questions:
1. Should I pay the fine? (I guess so...)
2. The ticket requires traffic school. Obviously, I cannot attend traffic school in FL. Is there a way to attend traffic school in CA and "transfer" it to FL?
3. How likely is the info about this ticket to flow from FL to CA? Can I just ignore the ticket???

Any help appreciated. TIA.

Default there are some online traffic schools that will send your certificate directly to the county court..

ask the court if they have any referrals

Default I just did online traffic school this week

took me 15 minutes. Painless

Look into it, they have FL listed as a served state.<ul><li><a href="http://www.trafficschool.com">trafficschool.com</a></li></ul>

Default Call and ask!! (more)

I had a similar in AZ - the court allowed it, of course I still had to pay the "honky" (non Native American driving on the rez) tax.
(Yes, I was speeding, but not 25 over the limit I was cited for . . . .)

Default Ignore the ticket. You just can't go back to floria thats all. There will only be

a warrent for your arrest in FL. Good luck.
