Q: ticket in Canada should i pay it (i dint show id to the officer i only gave my name, DOB and address)
this past summer i got a seat belt ticket while vacationing in Quebec i was in the rear passenger seat and didn't have id on me but i gave the officer my name and my NYS address and my D.O.B.
i never paid the ticket they now sent me a letter that my driving privileges have been suspended and that the fines will go up significantly if i don't pay up.
My question is should i pay the ticket?
thanx
A: The suspension can affect your NY driver's license, and the conviction can affect your NY driving record. You should talk to a Quebec attorney about your options to fight this ticket.
