gknippel Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Got a photo radar ticket in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately it was from April so the expiration date to qualify for the discount was June 10th. And to make matters worse, the envelope it came in had no postmark date! But the worst part is I'm told I have to go to GDL to pay for it!?!? Can someone tell me where I go to pay this? Gracias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think you can pay for it at the car title/plates place in Chapala. I believe that's on Degollado almost to Parque Christiana, white building on the south side about a block before Gonzales Gallo. Someone please correct this if I'm wrong.

R2D2 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I believe you can, why don't you go and inquire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Menudo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I believe you can, why don't you go and inquire? I third that. Have paid them there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gknippel Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I went there and there was a Mexican man there with my same dilemma and he's the one who told me I had to go to GDL. He certainly seemed to know what he was talking about, but now I'm starting to wonder. Any other feedback will be greatly appreciated!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gknippel Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 El Menudo ... was the one you paid on Degollado past the discount period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I suggest you let the clerks there tell you if you can't pay it there. I have friends who paid some old ones there just last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Menudo Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 El Menudo ... was the one you paid on Degollado past the discount period? been a while but I think so. it would be worth a try to go inside. all they can say is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gknippel Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Are they open on Saturdays? I'm thinking now that it's necessary to go to GDL if you want to challenge the late delivery and attempt to get the discount?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just pay the ticket in Chapala and don't even try to get a discount--it will be an involved and frustrating experience and the result will be the same--no discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist of all you speed too much secondly you don't even see those cameras coming even though they are clearly visible so or you are not driving carefully enough or you just don't care. Just pay those tickets. You did something wrong and you know that. Even though those infractions are against the constitution it helped a lot in how people are driving in gdl. I drive a lot on periferico and the number of people who are racing there dropped drastically since they started with those foto infractions. The more people who know how to get away with those tickets the worse the people start to drive again and that won't help anyone. And next time just go away a few minutes earlier and you don't need to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Some of these cameras are not clearly visible like the one they stick in the median north of Ixtlahuacan without any warning signs. This is just yet another government racket to steal from you. It has little or nothing to do with traffic safety. Do a little reading up on the topic and you'll get the picture. I've noticed that these cameras are on four lane divided roads in open areas yet are pegged to artificially low speed limits, 80 klicks (50 mph) or less. Just what are they preventing other than the smooth flow of traffic? Unfortunately, another "import" from the USA police state. At least they are cheap here and don't go on your insurance. Ironically, people are fighting this racket and winning up there. If it is against the Mexican Constitution why is it still going on and growing like a cancer here?

mikechapala Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 i am not proud at all. Like Mainecoons say.... what for is this radar in Ixtlahuacan... nobody lives there and it is only for the purpose of making money. If they want me to pay... then they should change the constitution. If i do sg wrong against the constitution, i also have to see the consequences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikechapala Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 and by the way - my multas are because of 92 instead of 80 on a open 2 lane road, without any city or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 OK but it sounds like you are paying up at a reduced rate. Again, if this is unconstitutional why does it continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikechapala Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 that you have to ask the federals and the government... its to make money and many people don't know that and don't have the possibility to fight against it. So they pay..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbviajero Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 People whine about how lawless Mexico is,then they whine when Mexico tries to enforce some traffic laws,like speed limits and DUI laws. BTW,the military checkpoints on carreteras are supposedly unconstitutional but I don't hear many complaints about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Do you really think this has anything to do with traffic safety cbviajero? Have you paid attention to where they put these cameras? No one mentioned DUI laws, why did you bring that up? I think you'll find plenty of support for getting the drunks off the road. That's real traffic safety enforcement, something that posting ridiculously slow speed limits and then sticking cameras next to them is not. This is a racket about taking money from the public, period. It's an even bigger racket NOB but up there the public is starting to fight back. Something else, I'll bet you'll find the people who own these cameras probably take most of the money. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it is another one of those sweetheart deals like those parking zones in Chapala. One thing is certain, the money isn't being spent on fixing Jalisco's pothole riddled roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
