The most important aspect to consider in avoiding a traffic ticket is to be aware of where you are
in the current traffic pattern. Many people will tend to slow down for the first two days after
receiving a ticket. But a lot of people don’t. This chapter is designed to assist you in keeping
out of trouble in the future.
Make sure that you are driving the proper type of car. If you’ve got a really brightly colored car
such as a red sports car, it looks like it’s doing a hundred miles an hour even when it is standing
still. There are a great number of quality fast vehicles that don’t draw as much attention. In
order to be safe in any case, make sure that you have the proper electronic equipment to protect
you from any further ticketing. Make sure that you are aware of your situation on the road. Be
alert at all times. Keep your eyes on the on ramps on the major highways, because they are a
favorite spot for the Police. Try not to come up on a hill at 80 to 90 miles an hour because you
have no way of seeing what’s over the hill and if there is a patrol car there with a radar unit,
you’re going to be nailed before you even see him. Be on the alert for any hiding places that a
patrol car may be, behind trees, around bends, or even in front of a large truck that’s driving in
the right hand lane. That truck is going the speed limit because there’s usually a patrol car right
in front of him, waiting for you to pass.
Try to keep your driving in the right hand lane as often as possible. The police know that
speeders are in the left hand lane, so make your pass in the left and get back into the right hand
lane as soon as possible. Try not to weave through traffic because you will draw attention to
yourself. The patrol people will stop you for reckless driving as well as speeding. That could
be double the problem. Keep your eye on your rearview mirror, especially at night, for any car
that may be approaching from the rear very quickly. If you’re cruising at 75 or 80 miles an hour
down the highway and a car is creeping up on you, it’s entirely possible that it’s a patrol car
doing a “Paced Speeding Ticket,” or it’s another speeder who can act as a “Rabbit.” A “Rabbit”
will be explained shortly. Another powerful tool to avoid speeding tickets in the first place is a
GOOD radar detector that protects you against the most current speeding detection devices that
police use. Here is an example of a dynamite unit as it detects both standard radar and laser
pulses and has tons of useful bells and whistles.
Occasionally as you’re driving down the highway, you will be passed by someone that we will
refer to as a “Rabbit”. You should have no problem following this rabbit at a reasonable
distance, a quarter mile or so, because they will act as a target for the radar trap and will get
stopped prior to you even arriving at the scene. Just don’t forget about your rearview mirror
because the patrol car may have spotted him from the distance and is going to follow behind you
to try and overtake him. And he could get to you first.
Make sure that you keep an eye on what cars are parked on the side of the road, regardless of
their make, model, or color. If it’s not a police car, or an unmarked car, it could be another
motorist in trouble, or it could be somebody who’s just about to pull onto the highway.
Be ready to move out of their way. Know where you are at all times. It can be your best
defense in avoiding a speeding ticket.
