Default How many speeding tickets/traffic infractions have you received?

Well I can't say I've received any yet but I only got a year of drivingunder my belt and I'm not driving a sports car (yet).

If you have any tips on how to avoid getting a ticket, post them here. What do you think you could have done (besides not speeding) to haveavoided the ticket(s)?

Dress VERY professional, preferrable a skirt.

Only one, coming back from a wedding in Lake Geneva WI. 75 in a 55. Didn't notice that the speed limit went from 65 to 55 near the border and got busted 1/4 mile from the Minnesota border. At the time you had to pay your ticket right then and there or they hauled you in. Luckily I had a credit card they could run; if I had to pay by check, they would have locked me up until the check cleared - the next day. It was about 11pm on a Sunday. It was like $75 or something. He wrote it for 74 so I wouldn't have to be automatically arrested. I was with my wife (now ex) in a 1989 Honda Civic Wagon. Guess he thought we didn't look like the criminal type.

helps if you have ***** too :giggle
So sad but true. I have a REALLY hot friend that gets pulled over and she works her magic to get out of tickets everytime. That sickens me...

That only works for me if it is a female cop, which there arent many!
