In others, it seems like they're just as official as if you or I put a note on someone's car saying "pay me $10". The last time I rented a car, the contract included a clause that any parking or traffic tickets would be sent to an outside collection agency, and I'd have to pay the cost of the ticket plus a $40 fee. So if I'd gotten any non-official college tickets I'd probably still have to pay them. (And yet some people still think transponder-only toll roads are a good idea, even though there are often violation notices sent for vehicles with a transponder whose license plates are registered on the account.) -Apr
