Over 100,000 people blindly pay their speeding tickets every day... like "good sheep". That's about 4 tickets paid every second (8 hours a day)...
$baahh, $baahh, $baahh, $baahh...

How to avoid traffic tickets
More likely than not, weve all been pulled over for some 'vehicular infraction'. The question is - was it really necessary? Many of the tickets issued could have been avoided by just knowing the facts and blending into the anonymous buzz of daily traffic. Here are some things to consider - hopefully before you see red lights in your rear view mirror.
Make every effort to know and comply with basic traffic laws. Get a copy of the drivers license manual from your state licensing authority and review its contents.
Dont attract attention to your vehicle by having loud exhaust, windows tinted too dark, etc. Anything that causes a police officer to look at your vehicle will make it more likely he will notice expired tags or inspection sticker, or other deficiency.
If your state has a mandatory seatbelt law; wear your seatbelt. If you forget to put it on, dont wait until you see a police officer to remember to put it on. This will only cause the officer to notice you when he might not have otherwise. The fact that you just put it on may not be enough to avoid a citation. If he spots you without it on or sees you putting it on, you can be cited. You might only get a warning for having put it on, but this is a gamble. If the officer is working a special seatbelt detail you can count on a ticket. DONT CALL ATTENTION TO YOURSELF!
Keep your vehicle in good condition, and all equipment such as brakes, lights, etc. in working order. Burned out headlights or tail lights just cant be missed at night. Remember; once the officer has you stopped he can find other things to talk to you about like the drivers license you left at home, or the insurance card you cant find, etc.
Make a complete stop at stop signs. Your state may require you to stop at a line or at a point, before entering the intersection, where you can clearly see traffic. Either way, you must stop. Make sure the intersection is clear before starting out. Accidents at intersections with stop signs are 'bought and paid for' by the driver having the stop sign. This is true even if you stop.
Be prepared to stop at yield signs if necessary. Unless you can clearly see traffic, and know no vehicles are coming, treat the yield sign like a stop sign.
Do not drive faster than the flow of traffic unless that flow is below the speed limit. Passing other vehicles always draws attention. It may appear momentarily that you are speeding, even if you arent. The police officer may quickly realize that youre not speeding just about the same time he notices youre not wearing your seatbelt, your inspection sticker has expired, etc., etc., etc. By now you should be getting the idea: DONT CALL ATTENTION TO YOURSELF!
If you are stopped for a traffic violation, try to prevent or at least minimize the damage. An officer may be assigned to a certain location to watch for a certain violation due to numerous accidents at that location. If you commit the violation in question at that location your chances of getting out of a ticket are slim. A short argument of the facts is okay, but dont get carried away. This is especially true if have other deficiencies you dont want noticed. Consider this: if youve committed a violation, the officer is supposed to write you a ticket. Depending on the circumstances, however, you may get a verbal or written warning. If you jump out of the car with verbal abuse, you will always get a ticket.
Dont rely too much on your radar detector. If youre the only car on the road for a long stretch, or youre the first car in a convoy of vehicles, youre going to be the target vehicle for the radar unit over the next hill. The officer is not going to let the 'cat' out of the bag and leave the radar on continuously for you to 'detect'. Hell have it in the 'stand-by' mode. Its warmed up, calibrated, and ready to go, but its not emitting a signal. He wont activate it till you come over the hill. Your radar detector will beep at the same time the radar automatically locks your speed on the digital display. Anyone within a mile or so behind you with a detector will be warned, but not you! Sometimes officers will leave the unit on and transmitting, knowing that there are plenty of non-detector equipped speeders to be caught, but dont count on this.
