Another website, somewhat similar to this, which has very recently been offered as a link here, cites a provision of the California Vehicle Code that creates a sort of a contract in the form of implied consent: By applying for and taking a California Drivers License, you thereby agree to comply with the traffic laws including the processes used for enforcing those traffic laws. I would expect a similar provision in every state's traffic laws. Among other things, it means that a ticket serves the purpose of a summons and complaint, the same cop who gave you the ticket can testify against you in court, etc.
There probably is a provision elsewhere that says that anyone, from anywhere, whether or not licensed, who drives on this state's public roads, thereby has made implied consent to comply, etc.
