News in the Mail

Well today was a first. All our mail has been forwarded to us - by all I mean all the mail we have had in the last year, which is not a lot, since we have to pay a mail forwarding company by the letter. So it included our car tax, insurannce and road recovery docs, two $10 gift vouchers for Rolling Hills Casino - Oh and a traffic violation notice from Tucson, dated 23rd March 2013 - OOPsbig time! After the first shock of getting the letter it became apparent that I had not stopped at a red light, actually it was when I had turned right at a red light. I don't remember doing it, so cannot deny it. It just seems strange to have got the letter over a year ago and not follow up, threatening me with jail for ignoring it. The letter was actually asking for the owner of the vehicle to own up to who was driving at the time, as it was based on photo and video evidence. It tells me in the letter that I do not have to tell them who it is (fifth amendment I suppose), but being honest I guess I will write back and tell them it was being driven by a visitor from abroad, with an English driving licence and an English address, then see if they follow up with a citation (and an extradition order).
