I got 2 traffic tickets in canada last month, those cops knew it was a holiday so they stalked out everywhere. The thing is I live in MIchigan and it was my first time in Canada. I wasn't paying attention to the signs, plus I'm near sided. They dont go by miles there. E ways after I got one ticket the cop told me that they had an agreement with Michigan. What does that mean? After that I got another speeding ticket and I wasnt even speeding this time, I swear. The tickets are at diff courts, I intend to fight them, but I dont want to drive there twice. How can I work this out??

you admit its your first time driving in a foreign country and you ignore the signs ? Oops.
unless you drive a Hudson Hornet, the speedos are marked in KPH and MPH.
short answer after all the complaining- pay up...the ''arrangement'' with MI means that the State knows that you have been cited.

I think you should talk to your insurance company or motor vehicle office. I imagine if you ignore this it will come up when you renew your license or insurance. I think to fight it you have to arrive at the appointed court in order to have a chance, there's always a good chance the cop won't show up and it gets dropped. Good luck.

You better pay your ticket or the good old US will extradite you on back up there and you'll be stuck in a nice little jail. Its not all bad though, I hear the jails in Canada are much nicer than in the US.
