Do you know that there are people getting tickets and that these same people have none on record? If this sounds impossible, consider that the officers are humans, even if in the area of law enforcement. But how do you fight a speeding ticket anyway?
Let's say you get pulled over by a police officer. What is your initial reaction to this, or him? Do you act defensive or the like? This initial contact establishes the rapport that you are about to have with the officer. Would you like to begin on the right foot, or otherwise?
The more you push, the more he will push and of course, under these circumstances, guess who the winner will be? Instead, wise up by putting on the right attitude and stop pushing.
It is even a good idea to surrender to the situation but how do you convey this to the officer (whom you are a stranger to)? If you are wearing any head or eye-wear, you can take these off and put your hands in the position of ten and two. If you feel necessary, you can place your car keys on the roof of your car. Remember to do all this without getting out of your car. The last thing you want to do is to put the officer on his defense.
If you can momentarily imagine yourself in a position like the officer; dealing with all kinds of people on a day to day basis, you can be more understanding of his situation,
and why you are advised as per above-mentioned.
Let the officer do the questioning, and you do the answering (as should be the case). Just be polite all round.
Now that he has done whatever he needed to, you can ask him about your violation. If you are on the wrong side of the law, there is no getting around that and you will be wasting your time. Simply admit your error to the officer. If the officer feels that he has done the right thing, it may not seem so necessary to him, to take on you to the fullest extent after all. You can certainly play a part in this.
When the basics have been accomplished, it is time for you to plead your case. But do this only after establishing the all important rapport. Never push and instead, show your sincerity and then beg nicely.
Whether you get the ticket or not, leave the scene in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately, officers tend to remember someone whom in their estimation, has broken the law. Therefore, you do not want to be remembered (unless he has come across so few nice people lately, that he cannot help but remember you).
Believe it or not, you can actually fight a speeding ticket using this no-frills and simple way. Can you imagine how much time and money this can save you? Not to mention all the unnecessary hassle. If you are wise, you can see how worth it it is for you to exercise a few simple steps such as outlined above should you meet with a speed officer.
