when you get fines in the states, do you have to pay up front? I hae heard of people fetting hit with a $50 fine, and having to pul out the wallet and pey there an then, or 'go down town'

Here in Oz, we get a bit of paper, have 22 days to pay, then you get another 22 days to pay. My wife must be seeing how long this can go on for. Its ben a few months, and no reminder. Oh well, its not my licence. Guess I might get to do all the driving of the Buck
