LOL..Been there......Just in case anyone wants to know what a Jamaican speeding ticket looks like.....

[Xplantdad]

Speeding in Jamaica? Where could you have been going to fast?

[RPOLS3]

So is that an excuse to go back to the warm weather Ken, or do they let you take care of it on the spot?

I got the ticket going to the Airport, and the officer told me I could pay it online and the instructions to pay are on the back of the ticket.....No Problem Mon!!......So...I get home and I get the ticket out and go online to pay........No directions on the Ticket.......so ...I do a Google search and find the Jamaican Tax office for paying traffic fines online.....But....Before you can get into the site you have to register......so I register and it ask's for my Jamaican Tax I.D. number and without it, it won't let me in
.......WTF....
So.....I email the contact Link and ask how to pay the fine online.....The lady responds that I should go to the closest local Police Station in Jamaica and pay........I tell her that I back home, got the ticket on the way to the Airport and didn't have time to pay it......
So.....I ask about paying online and she tells me I can't pay online unless I have a Jamaican drivers liscense #.............I said no.......she then responds saying that if I don't pay the fine in the 21 day pay period that I will have to go to the main tax office in Kingston and take care of it there.....LOL.......What a screwed up mess

Ken, I would just throw it in the garbage and forget about it at this point after you made all these attempts to pay it and they run you around like that..

There is nothing they can do to you over here in the U.S. that will effect your drivers license status like can happen between states here in the U.S. if you do not pay a traffic ticket. They have what they call a non-resident compact violator status which means for example if you live in Wisconsin and get a speeding ticket in Ohio and do not pay the ticket in Ohio, Ohio sends notice to your home state of Wisconsin and they suspend your operators license.

That won't happen with these folks "MON" Only trouble you face is when you go back there to visit if they keep some kind of records that you did not pay it they may lock you up in some horrible place or God only knows what they will do or what goes on over there!!

You'ld have thought that as much business you give that country that they would have let you off with a warning. How fast were you going........?
