It’s rightly said that prevention is better than cure, so make sure that you stick to the speed limits defined and hence not vulnerable to getting speeding ticket.
Few steps to follow to avoid getting a speeding ticket
-
While driving on a highway, stay within a group of other cars as the you will not be an obvious pick by the police and it actually makes difficult for a police officer to spot you.
-
Whenever driving remain alert and always scan the road ahead of you, looking for any places where a police officer could be hiding.
-
Keep you speed of the vehicle in the limit defined and always keep a look out for any traffic signs that tell you the current speed limit.
-
Always be generous in spending that few extra dollars in keeping you car in good condition. For example, if you have a tail light out, you are going to be noticed much easier by a police officer, as they are looking out for these kinds of things.
-
Unfortunately even if you are stopped by a police officer, always be well-mannered and do answer all his questions in polite way without giving voluntarily any information by yourself.
-
The police officer will most likely bombard you with by asking the reason that why you have been stopped. So you have you have three options to choose from
Option 1: Firstly, you can completely admit that you were speeding. The officer would appreciate this, as this is what he wants. The officer may let you off with just a warning. But the problem with this is that if you admit that as the police officer will be taking notes on everything you say to him, this can go against you in the court , so if you feel that you will definitely get a speeding ticket then you should avoid directly admit to the police officer that you were speeding.
Option 2: If you deny that you were speeding, then for sure some tensions and arguments between you and the police officer are bound to happen. Still if eth officer is not convinced then also you still might get a ticket. The positive aspect to this, however, is if you deny speeding, you have a better chance of beating the ticket when it goes to court, because you denied speeding from the outset.
Option 3: The third option is by posing as if you don’t know why you have been stopped. Sometimes this approach will work best. When he tells you that you were speeding, tell the officer in a calm and respectful force that you just didn't notice...and give a reasonable excuse.
