Know How To Handle Yourself When Getting A Traffic Ticket

Your heart starts to beat fast and you are not sure it is you who needs to pullover your car and you feel like panicking. This happens every time you see those flashing lights and see that ominous car pull up close behind you. It is a normal feeling and it usually only lasts until your anger supersedes your fear of being pulled over. You are not a alone. There are things you can do to lessen the chances of getting a ticket and/or getting out of the ticket once its written. First, roll down your windows and pull over in a clam manner. The open windows allows the Police Officer to see into the car and be sure you are not hiding anyone or anything in the back. Remember, the more at ease the Officer is, the better the chance he will not write the ticket to begin with.

Your emotions are all over the place, first you were afraid, now you are praying he is nice. Stop praying because nice has nothing to do with it. He has a job to do and his job is to give our as many traffic tickets as possible and get you to confess to the crime before you speak another word. But now you won’t fall for his trick. He will ask you if you know why it is that he pulled your car over and not another car. At this point you will think to yourself “I don’t want to be a smart Alec and I will appeal to his good nature and say ” ” because I did not fully stop at that stop sign” “. The good news is that the Police officer will in fact not think you are a jerk. The bad news is that you just confessed to breaking the law and he didn’t even have to scare you into confessing. That is why when the Officer asks you anything you say in the most polite possible way “no officer, I don’t”.

You now find yourself watching this person issuing you a traffic ticket. You feel helpless and don’t know what to do. This is the point at which most people make the second biggest mistake. They now admit that they did x, y or z and hope their confession will elicit sympathy from the Police Officer and he will tear up the ticket. It never happens. What he does now is he writes an extra sentence at the end that says in so many words “the defendant admitted to x, y or z without any provocation from the issuing officer”. In lay person terms, you confessed, case closed. If you decide to fight the ticket, the Judge will see this and you are as good as gone. But, if you are smart and follow the instructions below, you won’t fall for these tricks and you will beat your traffic ticket.

To win you case in Court the best thing you can do is nothing. First, when he asks you why you think he pulled you over, you should say, “no I don’t” in a very polite tone. When he tells you why he pulled you over, don’t say anything. Don’t say “I wasn’t speeding”. Don’t say “I did not go through that stop sign”. And don’t say “I am sorry, I really had to go to the bathroom”. The reason you should say nothing is you will NEVER win an argument with a cop. And worst of all, he will remember you. You want the entire encounter to be unremarkable. You don’t want him to remember you for being too nice, too argumentative, too sweet, too flirty, or too stupid. Just be vanilla, polite, and make the whole interaction as quick as possible. And for all you cute girls out there, before you decide to take the flirty approach, remember, most Police Officers have quotas, they write tickets for a living and they will take your number if you want to give it to them and see if you really like them by waiting to see if you call after you have been given a traffic ticket.
