How to Avoid a Speeding Ticket

by Michael Chappell · June 24th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Obviously, you could just not speed, however, I am placing these tips here mostly for the benefit of my colleague (whose recent acquisitions have granted him some new bad habits), but I imagine there are a few others out there who might find this helpful.

1. Drive within 5-10 mph of surrounding traffic

2. Try to stay in the middle of the pack

3. Find a “rabbit”

4. Do not change lanes frequently, tailgate or otherwise drive aggressively

5. Avoid the fast lane

6. Watch for cut-outs and modulate your speed accordingly

7. Don’t speed when you are the only car on the road

8. If it’s ok legally, get a radar detector

9. If possible, drive a nondescript vehicle

10. Be aware that appearances count
