  • What can I do?

    So I just received a notice about a speeding ticket in the mail today. It is for a phototicket, from the DC police.

    The thing is, this is the second notice. With a doubling of the fine (to $100). I never recieved the first notice.

    This happens to me relatively often. Sometimes I get the original after the date that I needed to take care of it. Sometimes I don't recieve something at all.

    Now I can just pay the $100, it is annoying, but I can do it. But I am worried that 2 weeks ago I got another one. How am I to pay it if I don't receive the ticket? So what can I do to not have to pay the late fine?

    Anyways, this late fine thing pisses me off.

    I don't really speed badly, btw. In city I generally go under the speed limit. On the interstate I often do speed limit +10 +- 5. Never gotten stopped, ever. In DC though, I have started getting on 295 from the Beltway since it is quicker at 2 am. However, the speed limit drops from 65 to 55, and I sometimes don't respond right away. This has apparently netted me one ticket, and probably one more.

        For what it's worth, I've only gotten one speeding ticket in my life. 83 in a 65.

                  No one has addressed the central issue. How can I complain and get out of paying the doubling of the fine because I didn't receive the mail about the fine last month?

                      Basically you are screwed since it's only your word that you never received the original.

                      Really it comes down to how hard you want to fight this, maybe pay the original fine with a letter explaining that you never got the original ticket and see what happens. Be prepared to be taken to court though. Your only real chance is to get publicity and if a lot of other people than start complaining that they never received their original tickets then you have a case to claim the office sending out tickets isn't doing its job properly.
                      Never give an AI an even break.
