Avoiding points after speeding. Can anyone verify this?

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET A TRAFFIC TICKET


This advice was sent by a retired State Farm agent! This system has been tried and it works in every state.

If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, and you're going to get points on your license this is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get the points.

When you get your fine, send in a check to pay for it. If the fine is $79.00 make the check out for $82.00 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a check for the difference, however here is the trick.

DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK! Throw it away!

Points are not assessed to your license until all financial transactions are complete.

If you do not cash the check, then the transactions are NOT complete. The system has received its money and is satisfied and will no longer bother you.

This information comes from an unmentionable computer company that sets up the standard databases used by every state.

I remember seeing that in a book sometime in the 1980's. I seriously doubt that any loophole would survive this long once it became public knowledge, if it ever did exist.

Neither have I. I'm just saying that the wording of the intro sentence is very BS-esque.

I tried this when I was younger. They sent the check back and asked for one with the correct amount.

The best way to avoid points is to contest the ticket by mail. I've done this several times and won; a majority of the time, the cop was too lazy to submit their defense to the judge, and the other times the judge dismissed the ticket because my request for discovery was never granted.

Also, you didn't have to do any of the research. ATOT is like having a personal assistant that makes fun of you.

I tried this a couple of years ago. They kept all my money and added the two extra bucks to the fine. The speeding fine was $105. I sent them $107 and got back a receipt for $105 speeding and $2 misc. court costs.
