Tips On How To Avoid Traffic Tickets

1. Avoid speeding

Obviously, the very first way to dodge a speeding ticket is to avoid speeding. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was a contributing factor in 30% of all fatal crashes in 2012. It resulted in over 10,000 lives lost that year.

2. Plan Ahead

One of the main reasons drivers speed is because they are in a hurry.  Many of us become programmed to do everything as quickly as possible. In a vehicle, that means speeding. So if you’re the procrastinating type, it won’t really help you get to work any faster. Our advice, then, is to plan ahead.

3. Recognize Triggers

Intense emotions (anger especially) can have startling effects on driving, impacting an individual’s rationality and impairing him or her worse than cell phones.  Find your triggers. Notice how you’re feeling when you speed and use the information gleaned to avoid future issues.

4. Pay Attention to Signs

Make it a habit to read street signs, even in familiar areas. Once it becomes habitual, you’ll find you won’t miss that speed-reduced sign in an unfamiliar city.

5. Be Nice to Officers

Police officers risk their lives on a daily basis, and while some have certainly abused their power, most are just carrying out their jobs to keep you safe. Avoid being rude to a police officer. It’s the quickest and easiest way to get a ticket!

6.  Wear your seat belt

It’s the law pretty much everywhere, and an iron-clad excuse for a sharp-eyed officer to pull you over.  It only takes you a few seconds to belt up.

7. Don’t stand out

Maintain your vehicle. Cracked windshields, burnt-out taillights, and other minor maintenance issues can get you a ticket.  And put the cell phone away while you are behind the wheel.

8. Go with the flow of traffic.

If you’re going to speed, you’re less likely to be issued with a ticket if other motorists are doing it. If everybody’s going 90 in a 80, chances are you can get away with it.  In fact, if you’re going significantly slower you may be a hazard—but if you treat that as a license to go 95, guess you can’t escape.

9. Stay out of the “fast lane.”

Drivers in the “fast lane are more likely to be ticketed not only because they’re typically driving faster, but also because of the psychological element: they appear to be going faster simply because they’re in the “fast lane”.

10. Take a Driving Course or Contest a Ticket

If you just can’t lighten that lead foot and you’ve gotten a ticket because of it, consider a driving course. If you’ve had a ticket in the past, defensive driving courses can actually get it dismissed for you or even remove existing points on your driver’s license.

However, if you’ve just recently gotten a ticket, you may be better off contesting it with the help of a Santa Ana traffic ticket lawyer. The lawyer can help you settle the ticket without adding points to your record to keep your driving privileges safe.
