Tips for avoiding a speeding ticket
#11
We are doomed.
If possible, drive a nondescript vehicle. It may not be fair, but it's human nature to notice things that stand out from the crowd. Bright-colored cars, those with loud exhaust or other pimped-out enhancements are the cars more likely to draw a cop's initial attention than ordinary-looking, family-type cars. Since the cop has to single out one car, which car do you suppose is the likely candidate for a speeding ticket? The bright yellow S2000 with Volks wheels? Or the silver Taurus?
If you do get pulled over while driving a fancy, high-profile car, your odds of getting a speeding ticket versus a warning have probably gone up. If you're driving a fast-looking Import convertable, the cop is going to assume you use it and deserve a ticket more than the guy in a family-looking ride whose plea that he "didn't realize he was speeding, officer" comes off as more believable.

Question:
If there's a 'train' of cars cruising in the left lane @ 15 or so over, and the cop pulls out; will he get the lead car? Last car? Better to 'hide' in the middle?
I've seen it when they have multiple cars set-up and pull iseveral cars over at a time, but typ w/ one cop what do you think?

another nice way to avoid a speeding ticket is learn from my mistakes...
i got one recently for 80 in a 55.....not super fast but enough to still #### you.
$170 to the court plus another $300 to DMV for "driver responsibility assessment".....PLUS 6 points gauranteed!!!
I'm sooooo pissed right now...
