Best way to avoid tickets: leave your car in the garage.

or you could just go the speed limit

i usually only speed on the open-highway and use the 'rabbit' method

I dont feel like reading it, but I saw something about driving in packs? Yeah, try driving in packs like we did in Fremont at our last meet, hella 7th genz in a pack, just attracted cops, I bet you a cop made that article.

How bout dont **** off a cop?!?!? Or follow the law. Im not being sarcastic, I need to do the same. I got 2 speeding tickets and 1 speed contest ticket.

Cops own me.

Let's do something useful with this thread. Let's put together our own list of "best methods" for avoiding tickets.

So far we have:

1. Use the "Rabbit Method" - find someone going fast and trail behind them so THEY get the ticket.

2. Drive in a pack - Safety in numbers

and I'll add one too...

3. Watch the overpasses - Cops like to hide under or around them. When I'm speeding, I ALWAYS slow down a little and search them like a hawk for any signs of a cop.

How about staying farthest to the right on a highway? In other words, avoid the left lane and always look ahead for overpasses and approaching traffic going the other way. Got nailed from an overpass and got nailed by a cop going the other way.

Best way, though? Stay within the speed limit. It's much cheaper in a long run!!!

also cops hide at the end of turns and in ditches

Also, another technique is to watch the backlights of cars going over the overpass. If they start braking, that means there's a cop up ahead.

Also try to avoid this:

"Cops are not looking for green Ford Tauruses; they're gunning for someone in a rice rocket with a 3-foot-tall wing and an oversized "fart-can" muffler."

Ive went through Lazer traps in my old Tercel many times doing sometimes up to 30KPH over the limit and they never bothered stopping me. They probably go after the hot cars.

Also, the other day I was doing 25 over in a safety zone (Forks of the Credit for the GTA members) And fell into a trap but again they didnt stop me. This was with my new SI Coupe. But its bone stock, so perhapse they only stop hot cars unless your really flying? Also, once they see me I dont bother slowing down. It just makes you look guilty. I usualy continue speeding because its too late anyway

I have a radar detector. Cops generally don't like you having them. It's kind of an "admission of intent to speed". I mounted it above my rear view mirror and hid the wire in the cars trim and down the pillar. While it's not invisible, once your pulled over it helps if they don't see it.

i have my radar detector in plain sight. officers have never had a problem with it.

some food for thought:

why should the cop that PULLED YOU OVER care if you have a radar or not, it obviously DIDN'T WORK. You just got pulled over..

Nice.. never thought of hiding it up there.. most of those are good. I find that when a cop does notice you and follows you, but doesn't actual turn on his lights.. it's good to try to resume near the same speed but a few mph slower.. and move around the lanes a bit.

I had the nieghborhood highway partol slowly tailing me 12 cars back.. to the right lane.. and he followed siut.. right lane.. again.. left..right..left..left.. then once you find a spot where your basically hidden from them just chill and relax and try to stay out of sight.. (out of mind), I exited 3 miles down the road and saw him as I pulled up to the light.. he was still on the freeway.. he was in the middle lane.. it looked like he was lookin around for something.. lol.

They probably won't ever come right out and say anything about having a radar detector. But the question is, what do they THINK about it? If you try to climb inside thier heads for a second, it's clear that it will put you in slight disfavor with them. The trick, obviously, is to not get pulled over. BUT, once your already pulled over, it may boil down to something little that makes the difference between getting a "warning" or "the ticket".

This reminds me of another detail. The radar detector does nothing to help you avoid tickets. In fact with my previous statement in mind, IT MAY ACTUALLY HELP CAUSE THE TICKET. The radar detector only serves to help wake your *** up from whatever day dream your in the middle of. After that, it's up to you to SLOW YOUR *** DOWN.

i just got a ticket about a month ago and i have a radar detector. it was going off but i had it cut down because i had friends in the car and stupid stores and stuff were setting it off. he asked if it was working and i think he pretty much gave it to me because i had the thing. he was an *** anyway as most of them are around here

People must think that I'm a rabbit when I drive. They always get behide me. Most of the time I don't out run the flow of traffic. I have a limit on how fast I'll drive period and thats 80 on the highway and 55 in a 45. I'm costantly changing my driving style there'er days I drive like an old landy and others like rabbit.

There are certain spots where you can "safley" speed. Thats on narrow highways. They can't hide on the median they only can get you from air or by sneaking up on you.

Here's one...once the cop pulls you over, try to get him to joke around with him...if you can get him to relax and joke around, chances are he won't give you the ticket. This has gotten my friends and family out of too many tickets to count.

The best way is simply to obey the traffice laws. Well, at least for the most part.

Stop at stop signs, don't run red lights, remove that annoying loud **** exhaust, mostly drive around 5-10mph over the limit, and never go over 15mph over the limit.

It takes some longer than others to learn those things. I know it took me several accidents, tickets, and mega premiums before I became somewhat rational behind the wheel.

I got a Valentine one radar detector .. ever since i got the thing it tells me even what direction the cop is at and you can basically tell if its a cop or not .. i live by that thing. I speed like a maniac, but as soon as it beweps I hit "resume" on my cruise. I swear its saved me a few grand

heres another thing to you people with the wings and body kits and loud *** mufflers they will most likly pull you over, than the old lady in a beamer going 30 mphs over the limit. for example they pulled me over one time because my car is hella low and i was ridin on black steelies(my car is black, you know the matching thing) and i was doin the rabbit thing next to a old man in a benz and the cop freakin pulled me over.
