I got a friendly notice in the mail from the Oregon DMV that my driving privileges will be suspended unless I pay a $459 fine from 2000 (original fine $109 for doing 59 MPH in a 55).
I don't have an Oregon license, I'm not even American. But they are going to suspend my license anyway and call the DMV in Canada and have them suspend my license here too. What gives?
Do states have reciprocal agreements with each other? IE: If I get a ticket in WA state will they know I have an outstanding one in OR?
The woman I spoke to on the phone said that they reinstate fines every so often and that "Wendy" (someone in her office I presume) "knows" someone at the MOT (DMV in Canada) and can have my license suspended here.
Oregon lawmakers have always baffled me (I lived in Portland in the late 80's) but I think the DMV is full of it if they say they can suspend a license in another country.
I do drive in the US a lot so what are my options?
