Avoiding Traffic Tickets

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

When you get a traffic ticket that you were not expecting the extra expense of being stuck with, it can throw a serious wrench in your budget! Some people think that there is no way to avoid traffic tickets; on the other hand, some people feel like traffic tickets can be avoided completely as long as you do not drive fast; but actually, neither of these are the case! You can keep yourself from the unpleasant surprise of being stuck paying an unexpected traffic ticket, as soon as you learn how to avoid traffic tickets.

If you want to avoid traffic tickets altogether, you need to learn exactly what it is that police officers look for. Of course, they are watching for cars that are speeding, but they write plenty of tickets besides just speeding tickets!

One thing that his helpful to realize is that police are always on the lookout for those who are performing crimes more serious than simple traffic offenses, and many of the extra things for which they can pull you over are largely in place to increase the likelihood that they will find those with more to hide. This means that you can often get off the hook as long as you are polite and understanding with the officer who pulls you over. But of course, you are better off not getting pulled over at all than "getting out of tickets!"

You should frequently check your headlights to make sure they are all working properly, as broken headlights will frequently get you pulled over, and it is not always easy to tell when you are driving that a headlight is out. You should also have someone help you check your brake lights frequently, as these will get you pulled over as well!

Police officers are also likely to pull people over whose tags have expired; this is a tough ticket to get out of, so pay attention to your tags and make sure they are always up to date!

Finally, make sure you stop at stop signs; this can seem like a major inconvenience, but they are there for a reason! After all, the last thing you want to do is find yourself in a position where you are paying a ticket for something as silly as running a stop sign.
