Speeding fines don't need to be a hassle if you're properly prepared

No matter how hard you try to avoid speeding fines, one of these days the boys in blue are going to get you.  You’re going to look in your rearview mirror, you’re going to see the flashing lights.  What you do in the next minutes can have a huge impact on whether or not you can beat the speeding fine you're about to get.

More than anything else, you don’t want the officer giving you the speeding fine to remember you.  Try not to do anything out of the ordinary, or to make yourself stand out in the officer's mind. That way, if any specific details are asked in court, he’ll have no idea and it may blow his credibility in front of the Judge and make it easier for you to beat the speeding fines. 

So simply pull off to the side of the road as far as is safe so the officer can walk safely to your vehicle after he pulls up behind you (if you make him walk on the highway he'll remember).  Once your car is safely stopped shut the engine off, roll your window down, and keep both hands on the wheel.  DO NOT remove your seat belt at this time.  If you’re not wearing your belt, it’s too late to put it on.  Don’t bother.

You're getting a speeding fine, and don't need a traffic fine too, so if it’s dark, make sure that you put on your flashing lights.  Relax, calm yourself, and wait for the officer to approach your vehicle. Generally, an officer who is about to give you a speeding fine will ask you one of two questions.  The first is, “Do you know how fast you were going?”, and your response should be, “No, I’m not really sure.” Or, “I think I was doing the speed limit.” Or, “I know I wasn’t speeding, I looked at my speedometer right before you stopped me.”  The other question that you may be asked is, “Do you know why you were stopped?”  Your response is, “No Officer, I don’t.”  The most important factor to consider at this point is, DO NOT ADMIT ANYTHING.  Your Constitutional rights allow you to remain silent, but the officer doesn’t have to let you know that.  If you tell the officer you were doing about 62 or 63 and you know that you’re in a 50 mile speed limit, you’ve admitted your guilt.

An officer needs to check certain information before writing up any speeding fines.  When asked for your credentials such as driver license, insurance, and registration, tell him where they are and ask permission to retrieve them before going for them.  This will relieve the officer’s suspicion that there may be a concealed weapon in the car. With so many guns around, cops are always nervous about getting shot, even when just writing up simple speeding tickets.

Remember, this is not the time to try to argue with the officer, or see if you can beat the ticket, the speeding fines coming your way.  Give him as little as possible to remember you by because he’s  heard of all of the excuses hundreds of times before.  Once he starts writing that speeding fine, you’re going to get it, period.  There’s no turning back for the officer or for you.  He can’t void it and say he made a mistake.  He’s got to write it.  And it’s yours.

While the officer is writing your speeding fine back at his vehicle, look over your surroundings and make notes of as much data  as you possibly can.  Small details can be very important.  Some of the information that you should be on the lookout for is the type of vehicle, the license plate, and the unit number of the police officer’s car that stopped you.  Know the exact location of where you were stopped, and the distance between where you were stopped and where the violation occurred.
