I have lived in other countries. it is best to pay your fine directly to the police. it is up to them to report it. this makes it simple for foreingers. it should be stanard practice. the alternative...arrest, court, lawyer, go to someplace you cannot find to pay fine....it really coild be a standard police to pay on the spot. they did it once where i lived in thaland. people got stopped. they completed a ticket, the person paid, and off they went. good idea.
