If you received a ticket for turning left on a red turn arrow in Oregon will this affect your insurance rates in Washington?

Answer 1

Usually, if you just pay the fine and shut up it won't ever show up on your drivers license record back home, but don't let it go very long before paying the fine. They certainly have the ability to put points on your license, but usually if it's considered a minor offense and didn't result in a collision, they won't bother to report it. After all, most of the time when the local police give a ticket it's just because the city council/mayor or whatever has told the chief of police that they want the tourists to pay an extra tax for the privilege of visiting that community. I received one of those bogus speeding tickets once when travelling through Mississippi and was told that if I just paid it that it wouldn't be reported to my home state. I paid it. Haven't been back to Mississippi and always recommend to my friends that they avoid that state if at all possible. The police are nuts there.
