Here's a suggestion: pay the fine. It is not appropriate to violate the
law
in someone else's country and then evade the penalty. I don't do it when
I'm a guest in someone else's country, and I would expect that foreign
visitors not do it when they're guests here.


On the other hand, rental cars are clearly marked. There is always room
for
discretion, and special zones should be clearly identified as such. It
is not
as if it were out of character for an American cop to ticket an foreigner.


And how many rental cars are driven by foreigners as opposed to citizens.
The rental car company will send you a bill for the ticket, with a couple of
bucks added for a service charge. They can also bill you through your
credit card. And if they do, then you also pay extra fees to the credit
card company for exceeding your limit. I got a parking ticket in the Cinque
Terre, Italy and other than your credit card problems I just got a notice
from Avis. Sent them the $6 requested.
