okay so I'm from california.
a couple weeks ago I went on a road trip to colorado
and just got in the mail a few days ago
apparently on the way back
while I was driving in arizona
I got five different speeding tickets over a span of about five hours
two of them are a minute apart.
I had nooo idea about these cameras
but I just searched this in the forum
so apparently I should just ignore it since I'm out of state?
or if not do you think there's a possiblilty if I call and talk to them they could like reduce the amount of tickets?
thanks for any advice
and yes I know I need to stop speeding
I got a ticket in colorado too
ughhh
I sooo wish I had cruise control it kinda sucks driving halfway across the country without it

Big time, "Sign of the Times"! States are so short of money so they are doing everything to increase income! Unfortunately, gotta do the "slow down thing"!

I truly don't want to be rude but - do you watch the signs on the roadways telling you what to do? These cameras are fairly easy to beat if you pay attention and slow down when you see the signs. :P

Unfortunately, cameras are here to stay. Arizona is expanding the program to the whole state and not just the Phoenix Metro Area. Major cause of traffic accidents is speeding. Next is Drunk Driving. I think you hit upon the solution in your post. Don't speed. Good luck with your tickets.

I thought the expansion was on hold. We need them outside Phoenix maybe more than in Phoenix. I'd like to see a 55 limit and cameras about every 500 feet on I-17 coming down the hill. I am so sick of traffic delays there caused by speeders who have to lane jump and cut others off leading to accidents in their haste to get home two minutes earlier.

Good Luck, Lapo

Since you are a Californian, ignoring five tickets may be an option but is it worth the risk?

Who knows what tomorrow may bring? You may want to drive through Arizona again or maybe even live here in the future. Those tickets will remain part of your record and may come back to "bite you in the butt" one of these days.

Also, in addition to your "speeding addiction" . . . obviously you have a problem with paying attention while driving because all of the Speed and Red Light Camera Zones in Arizona are clearly marked in advance. I cannot help but wonder what or who else you may have conveniently missed while driving. Are you also addicted to chatting or texting on your cell phone?

Sorry, absolutely no sympathy here as the next time you are caught speeding could very well involve a major injury or, even worse, a fatal accident. Ignoring or writing a check for that will be much more difficult.

It is amazing to me how many people get nailed by these things.
"Warning: Traffic laws photo enforced"

That should be enough you know? Slow down!
