Baja Officials Announce Bilingual Traffic Tickets


http://www.nbcsandiego.com/travelgetaways/4313152/detail.htm...

Other Cities Expected To Join Program In 4 Months

--

Mexico has always been a popular tourist destination for San Diegans, and a new policy may make it even more appealing to local drivers.

A new program called the bilingual ticket is designed to make traveling to Mexico easier and to save a lot of time.

While getting a traffic ticket is never fun, if a driver got a traffic ticket in Mexico in the past, it had to be paid for in person at a Mexican police station, where the lines could be very long.

Now, drivers can avoid that problem in the cities of Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada. Drivers there who are pulled over for minor infractions can ask for a bilingual ticket, which can be paid for by mail after returning to the United States. Tecate and Mexicali are expected to offer the bilingual ticket in about four months.

"What we're trying to do is make it easier," said Ives Lelevier, the deputy secretary of tourism in Baja California. "Not distract time from your stay in Baja California."

In related news, travelers to Baja are being urged to remember the number 078, which is the tourist hot line. It can be called from any public or cell phone and has lots of helpful information.

Only if you were a dishonest patrolman. Why would you want to accommodate them?
