I got a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt in Norway this summer, and I just assumed not pay it. Now they've sent me two requests for payment ($150 usd).
What do you all think? any reason to pay it? could they sell the debt to a collection agency here in the U.S.?

I'm sure Interpol is tracking you down as you sit and read this!

I've got speeding ticket outstanding in Germany and the Netherlands from years ago.

They sent me a couple of notices and I just ignored them...

Do you intend on returning to Norway?

i did get a parking ticket in germany about 9 years ago in a rental car. as soon as i saw it, i ripped it up and never thought about it again. luckily it was rented by a guy i worked with.

Yea, that was the same situation with me in Germany on one of the speed regulated portions of the autobahn, I got popped with one of those automatic cameras and they tracked the rental car down and sent a notice to the guy whose name was on the rental agreement. It took about six months to come through and once he got it we had to have one of the Dutch guys who could read German translate it for us.

Word, thanks guys.
Yea I do plan on returning, but I talked to someone who got busted jumping Trollvegen, never paid, and still travels in and out no problem.

OHhh ya they are tracking his Ass. Dude he is fucked after Jan 09. The CHANGE is coming. I thought that it was made clear to you That Obama and all of us are now, 'Citizens of the World' .
.

Not real sure about the whole new world citizen thing but I am sure laws will change and if you owe big brother he will get it some how some way!
might just be i belive in carma

Yep, I read that we'll join and become one group. Obama's reasoning..."we got a hand shake deal with the EU. we get to keep all monies collected on outstanding overseas tickets. we're gonna make a bundle!"

I think he may be on to something here.

Soon we will all be shopping at REI for everything, food, rigs, meds and all of it.

I'd p.c.a. Obama with a handful of chicken grease...Oh shit, did anyone hear me...what's that at the door. fuck.......
This is Gerald, ummmmkayyyyyyy

Yep, we Americans will all be citizens of the world after January. I am 'Sure' that they will track his ass down for the Norway traffic violation . Obama will forsure make everybody get a one-world Drivers License. We will all be equal in his eyes and IF we are all equal and on a same driving level. Then we can All drive like those Drunken fuck Italians .
.

I'm always scared driving in Italy too, but I looked into the statistics and the chances are 50% higher of getting killed in traffic in the US compared to Italy (41k kills out of 300m people versus 5k kills out of 60m people). So maybe it's the Americans who should sober up before driving and not the Italians.

No, they cant. But as you were caught in person they have enough evidence that they can get Interpol to collect the ticket (and you don't want that), but the police say they never have done something like that before. You probably won't have any problems getting into Norway again later on either, but the police won't be happy if they stop you again.

My advice is to forget about the ticket, but wear a seat belt and keep the speed limit next time you are in Norway. Then you'll be all fine :)

awesome, thanks for the advice. And I wasn't speeding, there was a seat belt check point. Unbelievable
