A friend of mine has it on good authority (he says) that this works:

If You Get A Traffic Ticket

This has been tried and it works.....I tried to send
this to everyone I know. I know that for a fact this
works so if you ever get in this situation, you have an
out. We discovered that this procedure works in every
state. Read it and try it, you have nothing to lose
but the points on your license.

This is how it works:

If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red
light or whatever the case may be, and you are going
to get points on your license, then there is a method
to ensure that you DO NOT get any points. When you get
your fine, send in the check to pay for it and if the
fine is say, $79, then make the check out for $82 or
some small amount over the fine.
The system will then have to send you back a check
for the difference, but here is the trick!

***DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK!!!***

Throw it away!! Points are not assessed to your
license until all financial transactions are complete.
If you do not cash the check, then the transactions
are NOT complete. However, the system has gotten its
money and is happy and will not bother you any more.
This information came to our attention from an very
reliable computer company that sets up the standard
database used by each states' DMV.

 

For everyone's information
this is not true at all
once you pay the ticket you have pleaded guilty to the charge and you are assessed points through your local motor vehicles. the best way to get out of a ticket is not to get one but if you do get one go to court and plead for something with no motor vehicles points but pay a fine...works like a charm and the extra money you spend will make you extra caution next time.

please do not use this method it will not work...great in theory but doesn't work that way. if you don't believe me learn the hard way.

this is yet another urban legend and if you believe it beware of kidney theives in bars and don't look for change in public phones. lol


p.s. my sister is a partner in her law firm...i take her word for it lol

 

Ummmm, no, sorry, this is a big fat myth.

I'll tell my friend he's full of beans; I thought perhaps he was.

 

In fact, check out http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/xpoints.html and compare it to the above ...

Very fun to cruise through it and see what 'friend of a friend' or 'the funniest thing happened to me' stories that ya hear are listed ...

Have fun,

Actually, I did try that method. Never gotten my $3 refund check. But I got a DMV letter saying like thanx for trying!!! (BTW, just kidding about the last part)
