Avoid Speeding Tickets

To beat speeding tickets, get technology on your side and be vigilant

Nowadays speeding tickets and how to avoid them are a major topic of conversation. It is so easy to lose concentration and go over a limit, but it can also be easy to fight speeding tickets and win.

The problem is that nowadays there are permanent speed cameras and radar units all over the place, and the police are busy setting up mobile speed traps as well. Little wonder that so many people are getting speeding tickets. There are over 100,000 radar speed detectors in use in the USA, and the number is reckoned to be increasing by about 20,000 a year. There are a very large number in the UK as well.

So how do you avoid speeding tickets? There are many ways of doing so, and these are:

• Be vigilant


• Make you and your car unobtrusive, difficult to see in a crowd


• Use the latest technology to spot speed traps


• Drive at a steady speed


• If stopped do not admit your guilt


• When you get a speeding ticket find help to fight the case in court

Vigilance and steady driving are where avoiding speeding tickets starts. Always be on the look out for a speed trap, and watch your speed.

One way is to set your cruise control so that you drive at just below the speed limit. That works fine where there is little traffic and you are cruising on a fast highway like an Interstate. But cruise controls can be dangerous at low speeds and in congested traffic. In fact, it is too dangerous to use them on many roads in the USA and other countries.

Don’t draw attention to yourself by changing lanes regularly, by roaring off from T-junctions in town with wheelspin, or by doing anything the police don’t like. You never know when you are being watched. Apart from the radar and laser machines used to clock your speed, there are surveillance cameras all over the places these days. They are intended to catch burglars and other villains, but are often used to catch innocent drivers who are just being a bit exuberant.

Use the latest radar and laser detectors

Fortunately, technology has come to the motorists aid in the development of devices to spot radar and laser speed detection machines. These devices are legal in many countries and states, but of course, you should check the situation where you live before using one.

However, fixed laser and radar machines are placed in danger spots according to the police, so if you want to make sure you are driving safely you want to know where these machines are. Also, mobile speed traps can be danger spots because when drivers see them, they slow down – often by braking hard – which can be dangerous if you are travelling behind them.

Therefore, if you want to drive safely, then you will find one of these instruments very helpful. Of course, they will also help you avoid getting speeding tickets. However, in the UK it was found that about one-third of the people who bought one still got caught because they forgot to switch it on every time they went out in their car. So do make sure it is switched on and working properly!

One problem with speed limits is that the signs are not always easy to see. Also, there are so many different limits – 30, 40, 50, 55 mph and even 20 mph – that it is difficult to be sure which limit you are in.

Sometimes, a person is driving along at 40 mph and sees a camera and brakes to 30 mph, because the driver supposes that must be the limit. But the person behind knows that he is in a 40 mph limit, and does not slow down. If he is not paying attention ahead – which he should be – he could run into the car in front. So you can see that speed limits and cameras can be dangerous, so you need to be vigilant all the time.

Fight and beat your speeding ticket

Should you be unlucky enough to be stopped, you can avoid a speeding ticket by the way you behave – or increase your chances of getting a ticket if you seem to be flippant or swear at the police officer. If it is your first offense, you might get away with a warning if you do the right things – we tell you how to do this here. Whatever you do, do NOT admit your guilt, as that makes it difficult to fight and win.

If you are given a speeding ticket or find one drops through the mail, then you should consider fighting the speeding ticket because it is possible to win. In fact, with the right information you stand a very good position of winning.

Why and how you can beat a speeding ticket

Why? Because the police are human, and they make mistakes. And because they use machines that need to be handled carefully, used in a particular way, and which are not always accurate. In fact, many of these machines have been shown to be highly inaccurate.
