There are many different tips and techniques to getting out of  speeding tickets, most of which are very similar.  The main thing to note when trying to get out of a ticket is that each officer is different and these tips, as good as they may be, are always subject to situational and conditional factors.  However, with that said, it can’t hurt to try.  Here are some great tips to help you in beating speeding tickets.

Once you have been pulled over by the officer, be very polite and prepared.  Don’t do anything that would incriminate you or make the officer suspicious.  This includes admitting guilt.  Don’t do it!  When the officer asks if you know why he pulled you over, just tell him you do not.  If you are honest and down to earth with the officer he will be more willing to work with you.  Avoid giving excuses or crying, and maintain a stable composure.  If these simple techniques don’t work and he still insists on giving you a citation there are two different approaches you can take from there to beat the speeding ticket.

The first is to adopt the ‘low-profile’ technique.  Ask the officer if you can just handle the ticket by mail or over the phone.  If the officer thinks that you have a low probability of fighting the ticket in court he will take less notes.  When you do challenge the ticket, the officer will not have a detailed of the account and may skip the hearing altogether.  If this happens then you are off the hook.  However, even if he does come to court if he has sparse notes the judge is likely to rule in your favor.

The second approach is to question the officer once he gives you the ticket.  Ask about how the offense was detected and verified.  Find out where they were when they targeted you with the radar gun.  Ask what type of speed measurement device they were using.  Get as much information as you can including the serial number of the radar gun.  Keep in mind they may not give you all this information but if they do not then make note of it and you can file a motion of discovery later and gain this information.  Make sure you get the name of the officer, the license plate of the car, and his badge number.

The more information you have the better prepared you will be in court when you go to fight your speeding ticket.  Whatever your approach style, these tips can be a good guide to saving you from another speeding ticket on your record.
