If you pay speeding tickets, the repercussions are endless. Sure, you can fork over $150 to $550 then you may think everything is already ok. No sir. You got that part wrong. Once the judge convicts you of this misdemeanor, then say hello to the following fantastic things (insert sarcastic voice here): a point against your license leading to you losing your capabilities to drive and the increase of your car insurance rates. An increased car insurance rate makes for a lost $1,400 just like that. What are the strategies and tricks that you need to know so you will never pay speeding tickets anymore?
Secret Number 1: You may want to FOLLOW SPEED LIMITS. I know, I know, this may not work for you if you are rushing to work (then don’t wake up late) or you are late on your date with Mr. or Ms. Right (prepare early). But this is the most surefire way on not getting that ticket. Sure you may get late at times or the daredevil driver in you will have a cramped lifestyle but it will save you a lot of hassle and a lot of dollars if you just follow the rules and not pay speeding tickets at all.
Secret Number 2: If you do end up exceeding the speed limit, know the things that you MUST NOT do. Do not try to out run the police. Have you ever seen the reality show where cops chase this dumb criminal and the chase gets really exciting until it gets gory that they would need to blur things out on TV? That could be you. Also, do not be a rude person to the cop. Do not curse or spit on him because man, he is only doing his job.
Secret Number 3: Be Mr. Policeman’s best friend. Be very polite and be a refreshing change from the other purps that he has to deal with every single day. Who knows he might change his mind and let you off with a warning or a few curt commands to drive safely.
Secret Number 4: Once you have that ticket, remember what happened and remember everything about the “scene of the crime.” Like the weather, the traffic, which road, the time and where you were headed before you got arrested. These details of the scene will help in you not having to pay speeding tickets for the rest of your life.
Secret Number 5: For the Pre-Trial, two words. Not guilty.
Secret Number 6: Go back to your newfound best friend cop in order not to pay speeding ticket number [whatever number this specific ticket is for you]. See if you can know what his schedule is in the precinct. Check with his buddies if he is going to take a few days off for a family vacation or if he is about to take a paternity leave. Then see if you can arrange your court date on the same dates he is gone. If you do that, you should be all set. Crack open a bottle of champagne because you just got away from having to pay your ticket!
