Bump another time for those that didnt see this:
Here in The Land of the Scandalous, Kansas, if we get pulled over doing more than 25 mph over the speed limit, the cop has the option of giving you a Reckless Driving ticket (which is a misdemeanor, not an infraction) instead of a speeding ticket. I has a close call once and it was 24 over (69 in a 45), i was shittin.
Some tricks for getting out of it:
- Diversion (pay extra, wipe it off your record, on first ticket only in my state)
- Def. Driving Course (some states wont let you do it more than once so make sure its a big ticket)
Other tricks:
- If you cant get a diversion or take a DD Course, and youre basically SOL, you can try this trick. In some states, the ticket doesnt register with the cops (and subsequently, your insurance co.) until the financial transaction between you and the state is completely over. You can use this to delay the amount of time until your insurance raises. For example, you get a $100 ticket. It is due to be paid in 60 days. After 50 or so days, send in your payment, but make sure it is for $101-102. The clerk will register the payment in the computer (you've paid it off) but the state legally has to send you back your change. Therefore, the financial transaction is not yet over. The state will cut you a $1-2 check, which you will then have 90-180 days to cash. Dont cash it until the last possible day. That means the transaction wont have been completed for 150-240 days. Thats over a half year until your insurance premium increases.
- A law enforcement officer once told me there were 3 types of cops: Meat-eaters (cops who work for themselves before the job, ie; stealing evidence, robbing criminals/dead ppl, etc. while still acting as an officer), Grass-eaters (cops who do their job, but will accept bribes/kickbacks when the chance presents itself, but dont go looking for them) and Buy-the-book cops. Now I dont know too many officers, but my guess, just knowing human nature, is that roughly 60% of cops are Grass-eaters and 10-30% are Meat-eaters. In the state of Texas (and several other states), you can pay for the ticket at the time of receiving it because the cops carry a credit card device in their car. You can use this and the above theory to your advantage. Next time you get pulled over and the cop writes you a ticket, pull out a $20 bill put it in your left hand near (not out) the window and say "Is there anyway I can take care of this ticket right now?". A grass or meat eater may take the money and rip up the ticket. However, if you encounter a buy-the-book guy, he may ask "Are you trying to bribe me?!" your reply: "no, i just heard that in some states you can pay for your tickets right when you get them and I didnt know if this was one of the states". Bribery is a felony in most states so be careful what you say. However, if you say it like what I typed above, you should have no problems.
Hope this helps all of my fellow speeders!

Aw toga, i'm sorry you got a ticket!!! I HATE SPEEDING TICKETS!!!! Especially from speed traps! At least you are not like me, a magnet for getting tickets in every single speed trap in every state I travel whenever I am in a great mood and singing at the top of my lungs to my CDs and don't notice when the stupid signs jump down from 40 to 30..... 
Some practical advice for you that someone else gave me: Plead for a conditional dismissal. That will ususally lower the fine, and if you don't get another traffic violation in 6-12 months, it comes off your record.

Sorry about your ticket babe. I bet you coulda flirted your way out of it.
Some freinds and I got pulled over last summber for running a red light. Everyone in the car other than the driver, was pretty drunk. The cop came over to the window....and holy shit, it was a chick and she was mighty hot! So my bud behind the wheel is shitting a brick and trying to BS his way out of a ticket....and the rest of us, in our drunken wisdom, start throwing every cheap line in the book at this girl.
"Holy shit, you're hot...will you handcuff me?" Mature stuff like that.
She was trying soooooo hard to be serious and pissed off, but you could tell she was getting a kick out of us. Eventually we had her laughing and she let my bud off with a warning.
Anyway, we ran into her about 2 weeks later at a nightclub. She remembered us and our "bullshit lines" as she put it. Eventually, she ended up dating one of my friends (the one who was driving the car, ironically) for about 6 months and according to him, she gave great head. LOL So maybe some good can come from traffic cops after all. 
BTW, I have one speeding ticket with my name on it. Cost me $260 and you'd better believe I slowed the fuck down after I got it.

A ton of peeps on this board have had a speeding ticket in the last few months. I got one in Jan and took defensive driving for it. I hate those classes, but it was a comedy one so it wasn't too bad...
Toga - Join the club! Sorry to hear you got busted, but that was some shit you were talking to the cop, lol

toga22 said:Well it finally happened.... After being pulled over 9 times total last month....the fine police here in Wisconsin finally found a ticket they could stick on me.
Late for work as usual, I was pushing the speed limit to new extents this morning and got caught.
Now tell me why is it when you get pulled over for an obvious reason, do they have to ask you:
"Do you know why I pulled you over?".
---"Ummm....because you knew I was late for work and wanted to give me an escort?"
"Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
---"Well, obviously not quite as fast as you were considering you caught up to me."
"Mam, I am not in the mood, for games this morning, and it is not helping your situation."
--"Really? Well I am not really in the mood for a ticket either." (btw--this was a bad answer..lol)
So, I ended up getting a heafty ticket, and it only took him 45 minutes to write it out....

You mean you are actually saying you were guilty? I was hoping for diagrams and evidence to why you should not get a ticket because of brilliance like Warik.
