Speeding Ticket In A Rental Car
I'm 99% sure I got caught by a speed camera in LA in Chinatown in the rental car I was using. Should I wait for the ticket to get mailed to me? Notify the rental car place (Alamo)? Should I pay it, ignore it or talk/write my way out of it if I get it?
I was talking to someone who had a similar experience with another rental company. In that case, the fine was sent to the rental company and then sent to collections and collections sent a notice to the renter which was the first notice that they had a fine. Anyone been through this?

I've heard of rental companies paying the ticket and then charging your cc on file for the fine amount.

There are speed cameras in Chinatown? I've never seen any. There are red light cameras...

If you go north on 110 and take the Hill exit to Chinatown, it's right after merging from the off ramp to Hill near Alpine or Ord street. |

If this happens to you in CA, I think you can fight it because the govt has like 30 or 60 days to get you the ticket. With that being said, Alamo will charge your credit card for the amount and forward the receipt and ticket on to you.

I didn't think L.A. used speed cameras.
After I had a run-in with a speed camera in Phoenix, I did some research and was under the impression that AZ was one of very few areas to use speed cameras - and CA/L.A. wasn't one of them.
