Is it Easy to Avoid a Traffic Ticket

Submitted by: Tony Lu

Is it easy to avoid a traffic ticket? An easy response would appear to be yes. Traveling at the allowed speed and maintaining your car seem simple enough to do, yet thousands of people are issued traffic tickets every year. Tickets which, due to their penalty fees and premium rising tendencies, no driver ever wishes of being on the bad end of. To dramatically decrease your chances of receiving one, think about the following suggestions.

Merely refraining from speeding seems like legitimately decent advice but it also appears to be something that many drivers have a bit of trouble with. Highway patrol cars and other officers have to determine each car's speed by hand with their radar devices and they usually only do it to the vehicles which are travelling a lot faster than those near it.

To remain, literally, unseen by their radar, try to go within five to fifteen miles of other vehicles near you. Even if you're speeding, most officers will not bother checking your speed.

If seeking a pack of vehicles is not an option for you, you could attempt locating a speeding car to follow behind at a safe distance. Remain back from this solitary car, preferably a few hundred feet back if it is possible, adjusting your speed with its. This way, if a cop car is off to the side watching for speeders, the solitary vehicle will be the one which trips the trap.

If you need to travel faster than the speed limit, then using a radar device in your car might be a great idea for you. Though you should be sure and check your specific area's laws regarding them, as they are highly illegal in most of them.

Sadly, you will probably find yourself sometimes being pulled over even if you obey all of the before mentioned advice. Keep in your mind that, just because a cop has pulled over your car, it doesn't mean you are absolutely going to get a ticket. After you view the officer's lights or hear their car's sirens stay calm, take a big breath, and keep in mind that, even though you were pulled over for speeding, there are still a couple of things you can still do to avoid a traffic ticket.

The first act you need to do is to turn your signal on, slow down, and pull off as far over to the shoulder as you can. If you're on a highly busy street you should simply turn onto a less trafficked side or neighborhood street. The cop will not think you are attempting to lose him and will probably appreciate that you are not blocking the road. If you are pulled over on an interstate this will not be possible but you need to still pull off to the shoulder as far as you can so the cop is not in danger.

Get out your license so it is ready for the cop but don't grab your car's registration until he requests it. You need to keep these documents in your car so you have fast access to them.
