How to Never Get Another Speeding Ticket

Avoid speeding tickets.

A speeding ticket can cost a hefty fine, but the real damage comes from higher insurance premiums that result from the points added to your driver's license. Many insurance companies will hold a speeding ticket against you for as long as five years. There are measures you can take to avoid getting another speeding ticket.

Instructions

1. Avoid speeding, especially if you are the only car that is on the road. When there are large numbers of cars on the road, there is less chance you will get a speeding ticket because the police have more potential targets. However, if you are the only car on the road, and the police officer doing the radar patrol only has one target, then you are much more likely to get a speeding ticket if you are going too fast.

2. Do not to drive in the far left lane, where people who are driving the fastest will be traveling -- and where the police will be targeting their laser gun.

3. Stay within five miles an hour of the traffic that is traveling around you. If you have a pack of cars all traveling at relatively the same speed, then the chances of you getting a speeding ticket are decreased.

4. Avoid tailgating people or change lanes without using your signals. These behaviors draw attention to you.

5. Invest in a radar detector. A quality radar detector will alert you that the police have speed traps ahead of you so that you can slow down before you ever reach them.
