"Hi, this is Casey Atkinson from Willie Driving School here in Logan, Utah. I'm going to talk to you a bit about how to avoid speeding tickets. First things first, common sense follow the speed limit. Don't go too fast, don't race, follow the signs. There's also, there's a rumor going around that you can go about five miles per hour over and not get caught, depends on the cop. If he's having a bad day, he wants more donuts, he'll get ya. Also make sure when going in school zones, construction zones, places like that, always slow down. The fines for a speeding ticket in a school zone are double, same with construction zones. It's a lot of money to be out of your pocket. So make sure you slow down, if the weather conditions are bad, slow down again. Another good reason not to speed is it's dangerous. Once you go that fast your reaction time is slower.You're going too fast, by the time you realize you need to stop you've already traveled who knows how many feet and it may be too late. Also if you get in a wreck going fast the accident's going to be a lot worse. Goodbye car, maybe goodbye your face; just be extra careful, avoid the temptation to speed, follow the rules and you'll be alright."
