(WSBT) We all know the holidays involve a lot of driving for many people, which means police are keeping an eye out for speeders.

But where you get pulled over can have an impact on your wallet.

Mo from Plymouth has a Good Question: Is it true in Michigan you have to pay a certain amount right there to the officer?

As WSBT's Kirk Mason explains, that all depends on the circumstances.

According to the State Police, Indiana officers never handle cash when issuing a traffic ticket. An officer does have the discretion to take a driver's license.

Michigan has a different sent of rules aimed at out-of-state drivers. An out-of-state driver has to give up one of three things:

1. A driver's license,
   
2. an insurance issued bond card, or
   
3. money.

The point of all three is so drivers from out-of-state passing through Michigan can't just blow off a ticket.

Those rules don't apply to in state drivers.

If an out-of-state driver pays cash to a police officer in Michigan, that money would go toward the ticket price. If the ticket is thrown out the driver would get that money back.
