Yes of course you pay it.

Even under the Midwestern unofficial rules of the road, you’re guilty: “Eight, you’re fine; nine, you’re mine.”

Not 9 miles, 9 KM. That generally wouldn’t be ticketed in the states! Interesting, though, that consensus is they have better computer tracking systems in France than they do in the US.

Over is over. The law is the law. You pay. The end.

Yeah, you're probably also Facebook shi*posting that Britney Griner should rot in a Russian jail.

And they wouldn't let me pay it online with a credit card. Also, my bank couldn't wire the required 30 Euros. They saifd the payment had to be in dollars.

I eneded up emailing them a picture of the form with my credit card number wtitten on it. We'll see how that goes.

To even consider not paying it indicates you are a dishonest person by nature.

Pay it. You could get blackballed from renting a car abroad in the future. Or the rental company may charge your credit card with fees.

Pay it and stop speeding especially in foreign countries. Sheesh.

Yes, I would like to hear any sort of moral justification (it's clearly legally due). It is a law created for the clear purpose of safety (reasonable), by a duly elected government (not some random entity without appropriate authority). The speeding was more than 10% above the limit (so above a threshold that seems reasonable to cover errors in speedometer/radar), and the fine is probably what, €120? So not exorbitant and commensurate with the relatively minor level of the offense. This isn't the motion picture association of America threatening you with a $20k lawsuit because you downloaded Old School on BitTorrent in 2005.

If you can afford to travel to France/Europe, you can afford to pay the speeding ticket. Just do it OP, and you should also be embarrassed for even asking the question.

Pay it

So you were going 9 miles an hour above the speed limit, and you are mad you got caught—speeding? It’s not like Americans are exempt from the rules of the road in other countries. Yes, you pay, dummy.

Of course you should pay.

France and Italy are not like Vegas. What you did there, doesn’t stay there.
Pay the ticket.
