The Art of Avoiding Traffic Tickets: Tips from a Pro
As we embark on our journey to avoid traffic tickets, it's essential to remember that we're not advocating for reckless behavior. However, with some common sense and clever tactics, you can minimize your chances of getting pulled over. Let's start with the basics.
Common Sense is Key
------------------------
Don't give cops a reason to pull you over. This is basic stuff you need to know. If you have super dark-tinted windows, you look shady, regardless of who you are. Window tint laws vary from state to state, but if you stay within the limit, golden. Cops are just waiting to pull people over with broken taillights. Don't be that guy who just spent $600 on a carbon fiber wing but doesn't notice your brake light is broken. Make sure your car is registered, and don't be afraid of a little tag in the mail that you put on your license plate.
Tactical Driving
-----------------
If you really want to open up your car on the highway, don't use the passing lane. Cops assume that speeders are gonna be on the left lane, so a better way to blend in is to use the middle lane. This way, you can still pass on the left, which brings me to my next point: always pass on the left. Passing someone on the right is a surefire way to get noticed. Stay with the relative speed of a group in traffic. Nothing sticks out more than a car that's speeding down the highway by its lonesome.
Don't Weave
------------
One of the biggest mistakes people make when driving fast is weaving in and out of traffic. This is a great way to let everyone on the highway know that you're an asshole. Just don't weave; straight lines, okay? You look like Anakin Skywalker from Podracing, squirming around out there.
Ninja Stealth
----------------
If you really want to avoid the popo, the Waze app might be one of your best options. Users can geo-tag accidents, traffic, and most importantly, the police. You can see on your navigation where cops with radar guns are hiding or where roads have DUI checkpoints. Cops are constantly trying to get that feature disabled.
Kool-Aid Jammers
-----------------
There are two types of Kool-Aid jammers: radar jammers and laser jammers. Laser jammers are legal in most states, but radar jammers are illegal everywhere. That's cool, though, because most cops use lasers to clock speed anyway. These devices can range from $500 to $600, but getting caught might lend you a ticket well north of that.
License Plate Flippers
----------------------
These devices are 100% illegal everywhere. You can pretend you're a cheap James Bond and get away without paying for tolls, which is exactly what one trucking company from New Jersey did. Apparently, they racked up over a million dollars in tolls from their fleet of trucks. I guess they were all equipped with actual license plate flippers.
American Work Trucks
----------------------
If you really want to fly under the radar, get an American work truck, like an F-250 or Ram 1500. Those never get pulled over. Cops kinda cut those dudes some slack.
