If you get pulled over while driving in Mexico, remain calm and show your proof of insurance to the police officer, just like you would in the U.S. If you get a ticket, politely request a written citation that can be paid by mail or at the police station. Before leaving, record the time and location of the incident, as well as the police vehicle identification number and police officer's badge number. You can contest unfair fines at the nearest municipal judge or by calling the Tourist Assistance Hotline at 078.
