The Best Ways To Get Out Of A Speeding Ticket In Southern Utah!
What to Do When You See Those Flashing Lights
It happened to me TODAY! I was driving into work, absolutely speeding on I-15, trying not to be late for work when suddenly... WOOP WOOP! The red and blue lights are flashing behind me! I'm screwed! I was going 86 in a 70! Miraculously, I did NOT get a ticket because I followed these fool proof steps!
Pull Off Somewhere SAFE:
Even if you have to keep driving for a little bit longer, make sure that you get to a place that is safe for both you and the officer, especially on a busy freeway.
If it's dark, turn your dome lights ON:
If it's a little dark turn those lights on so the cop can see there's no monkey business going on! As a cop, I'm sure you'd be nervous about that ANYONE could do to you if they're wanted.
Have your License, Registration, and Insurance card READY before they approach your car:
Don't act like you have no idea what you're being pulled over for, and plus... They're going to ask for it anyway so just be prepared for it and we can get it over with ASAP!
BE POLITE!
They're doing a job, and you (probably) did something wrong. Don't put your phone in their face, recording them. Don't be disrespectful and short. They'll definitely give you a ticket if you're being a jerk.
Be Honest:
If they ask you why they pulled you over and you know why, you can say "I was probably going a little fast. I didn't even realize until I looked down." They'll more than likely appreciate the honesty.
If you're lucky enough that the cop let you off with a warning, express your appreciation, wish them safety in their day, and be on your way. It really doesn't have to be a big deal here. Just be respectful, know you f'd up, own it, and hope for the best!
