[quote=jwizzle][quote=moneymaker]Does anybody know if CA puts points on record here for infractions in other states?[/quote]
Yes, they do, although i’m not sure if they communicate with all states. My husband got a point in CA for running a stop sign in Colorado (the sign was buried in 5 feet of snow and barely sticking out, so it was kinda bs). I think the points/insurance raise cost more than the ticket did – the ticket was only around $50! (compared to here, where they are are several hundred dollars, it was a “bargain”)[/quote]
Yes, the states compare “notes” but it takes a couple of months for CA to get wind of a ticket you got elsewhere (or at least it DID in the past). CA converts it to point(s) on your license. In the past, I have gotten multiple tix in Utah in their infamous speeding traps (that they keep moving up/down the road at their whim). The avg price for a UT speeding ticket was about $110-$160 … significantly less than in CA.
I went thru toll roads in CO last July (2011) which had no toll booths. It took them a couple of months to send me a bill for $11.80, which I paid online. Apparently, they had a pic of my license plate, lol…
I think the locals in CO subscribe to the toll roads … much like the CALTRANS vouchers we have here for the SR-125 toll road in South County and the bridges in the SF Bay area.
