Depending on the situation, I learned a little trick for getting out of, or limiting the amount of, a ticket.
I've been pulled over 3 times in my 18 yrs. of driving and all three times I saw the cop either coming at me from the opposite lane (2) and sitting on the side of the road (1). All 3 times I pulled over, knowing I was caught red-handed, and waited for the officer to come to me.
The first time I was going nearly 76 in a 55 and got a ticket for only 10 over.
The second time was about 70 in a 55 and got a warning.
The third time was 75 in a 55 and the ticket was written for 9 mph over the limit (which means no points on my license and my insurance won't go up). The officer told me the reason I got the break was because "I didn't have to chase you."
I think the police appreciate it when someone takes responsibility for their actions and doesn't try to BS their way out of it. So, if you know you're busted, just pull over and have your license and registration ready for when the cop gets to your window... you just might get lucky.
