Anyone remember that post from way back talking about what to do if you get a speeding ticket?

Anyone remember the link that was in the post?

It seemed to be a pretty good article.. I want to read it again but can't find it.

Not sure if the mods want us to link, so I'll PM you.

EDIT: This article I sent you is how to not get a ticket; not how to deal with one after :D

I think the best way to go about this is to straight up ask the cop for a warning BEFORE he starts writing anything down, with some I'm a poor bastard SOB story. Don't lie, but also don't be afraid to sugar coat your 'i'm a poor f*cker' story.

It takes a bit of balls, but 1) you're probably never going to see the cop again and 2) it might save you a couple hundred bucks.

I've never been let off a ticket before no matter what I said, and I've gotten six but I once asked a cop to just let me off with a warning. He seemed willing but he had already started writing and tickets have serial numbers and they have to account for each one. :disgust:

Unless you have nipples the size of half-dollars, you pretty much have no say in whether you get the citation or not.
