Default Just got a DC ticket in mail today- photo citation doing 61 in 50 on 295 S of PA ave....

should I just pay the $50. There is a spot to check for a non appearance "hearing", which seems like I write an explantation. Clean record, in slow lane, perfect weather, no other traffic- Do they do PBJ or just want the money? It seems the violation is on the car as points are not assigned. Does this show up on driving record?

TIA Bob

Default its just like a parking ticket or red light, revenue generation..however outstanding...

tickets can result in impounding of car if you're stopped. Be happy to just pay the $50. Court fees are usually $25min.

Default Anyone know what the ticket threshold's set at...?

53 in a 50 would just suck.

Is there a list of where these wonderful devices are set up..?

Regardless thanks for the heads up.

Default They're listed on the DC website. I got hit by the one on Michigan Ave near Catholic Univ.

There's another one where you get onto 395S off of New York Ave. It's on both sides of the highway. The ones on 295 are usually mobile units (a white van sitting on the side of the road sometimes accompanied by a cruiser).

Default My wife get's those from time to time...

They are revenue generators ONLY! Pay it and be done with it. They will double if you don't. And they will boot your car if it get's too old.
