How to Beat a Speeding Ticket Tips

Traffic violation, yikes! That is the last thing I want to deal with these days. It’s 8:30am, you’re cruising to your job, and the day is operating smoothly. Traffic is moving along as it commonly does and you get stopped. Highway Patrol says you were in violation of some stupid penal code; you discretely roll your eyes imagining he is a jerk with nothing better to do, and how can I convince him to let me go?

You hesitantly show him your license, registration and insurance. He meanders back to his vehicle, does something, moseys on back and cites you a speeding ticket. As a single mom, it is definitely not something I need because I have been there before and it costs a fortune. I got my children stressing me out, a meeting to get to and a credit card bill that I just remembered I forgot to pay.

So I negotiate with the cop, “Hey buddy old pal, is there any chance you can just give me a warning instead?” He looks at me as if he is empathetic with my suffering; but without concern he issues me a speeding ticket anyway. Then I make my way back on the street hoping I don’t incidentally hose up again adding on more traffic tickets.

How do I get stopped in a minivan? I know it is pretty sorry looking but golly, is it really that bad! It is not as though I was driving like a bunny on crack or endangering anyone on the road. I just happened to cross a ticket tyrant and I cannot afford it.

As if slipping up on my credit card payment wasn’t enough, adding speeding fines to my ever growing mountain of debt was the straw that broke the camels back that forced me to uncover a way of getting out of it. The only question was which was the best way to beat speeding ticket? So I went to the bibliotheca to find some information. In this day and age I figured there had to be an out in the mechanics somewhere.

So I am poking through some book that guarantees you will find ways to beat traffic tickets when I notice that this book was made for traffic violations issued in the state of North Carolina. Really, to top that off the law publications weren’t any help either because they are written in some weird English Dialect that I couldn’t understand a damn word of. Now I concluded it was time to call it quits because the search seemed to come to no avail.

Practically balling my eyes out, some mysterious guy tells me to try this publication that he found on the web because it was useful to him. So I reckon might as well. I could feel something I hadn’t felt in years as I came upon the site because it had everything I needed.

What I failed to recognize at the time I was stopped is how relevant a laser or radar gun becomes as proof. It sucked that I still had to pay some of the fine but at least it saved me some money.

Don’t pull too far ahead now pal, the next time I was stopped I whipped out my ticket book data base and it did work. I didn’t even have to appear in court! Muhahahaha…Those thieving bastards should think twice before stopping this mom. They can stop me till they retire for all I care but it is just a waste of my time which, by the way, still annoys the crap out me off.

Contesting Traffic Tickets

I abhor speeding tickets but I get excited driving. While driving itself is not that sensational, driving fast is. There seems to be a prominent problem with this; it is called speeding tickets. Nothing ruins the driving spirit like a thieving traffic ticket.

I was offended by a speeding ticket once while traveling the Oregon Coast for going 40 over the limit! Despicable I tell you. Obviously I am not the sole vehicle operator who has unwillingly accepted one of those moving violations for speed limit signs that are unjustly situated; as was my case on a road trip with my husband a couple years ago.

Certainly this meant nothing to the OHP who stopped me for speeding. I cannot even begin to relate to you how bothered I get when the cop asks why they stopped you. I believe they receive gratification out of asking that poignant phrase. Coincidentally they have a duty to ask you this so you ignorantly declare you did it. How is it a crime? If you weren’t meant to treat it like a rental (make sure you get the $1 renters insurance) then why do they make vehicles that drive faster than the average speed limit? I believe it is a government cover up!

Fight speeding tickets by finding the loopholes in the system! A seemingly reasonable speeding ticket is just a cover up for its true colors. The system will see to it that you consistently get ordained to appear in court amidst working hours so that you continue to lose more mullah. Now your nominal infraction has inevitably turned into a $200 plus ticket. There is no good associated with speeding tickets. So I encourage fighting speeding tickets every time.

It would seem if you have big boobies you have an eminent chance of entertaining a warning rather then a full on ticket, well that is if you are lucky enough to get stopped by a boy highway patroller. This is a factual story. I was flying down some side street in California and I was stopped for passing on a double yellow, facing on coming cars, which this particular one ironically for me, happened to be a light green cop car, going 90 in a 35mph zone, with a Washington driver’s license, a vehicle registered in California, and auto insurance in Arizona!

Now I fancy that I got off with a warning because of my good looks, but considering all those violations which were fascinatingly clear, I got lucky because he could not demonstrate that I was speeding. I mean he did not have a measuring device; he could not have been able to pace me and speed was not being checked by air radar in that area either so really he had no means to prove anything for his defense.

After flipping through this book I received from a friend on vanquishing speeding tickets, reflecting back on it I can say it was defiantly the inability to present satisfactory evidence that got me off the hook, not my boobies. I rarely ever get as lucky as before but now I am positive I have a viable argument with regards to my tickets being abridged or voided.

I probably won’t get that lucky again and my driving history is not entirely exuberant, so I have to pay a fortune to insure my car and I have ill reservations towards traffic school. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? Are you kidding me! It is like being in a really bad motivational seminar. Besides, I know the rules of the road I just have some conflicts when it comes to obeying them. Like sex, I know that not doing it is the best way of fortifying yourself against STDs but I would rather use protection!

Someone tell me please! How does a person manage to receive a speeding ticket going 8mph? Slugs can walk with more oomph than that! No doubt not driving is most apparent decision to evade pink slips but if you are impatient like me you just cannot for the life of you stand driving stuck behind some lady named Formelda Hyde in a Ford Taurus with a Golden Girl riding shotgun.

Long story short, destroying the dishonorable speeding ticket is cake if you know where to find the information you need to beat it.
