Top ten ways to Get Out of a Speeding Ticket
Straight out of Max Power:
"10. Keep driving until the helicopter is called in.
9. FYI, most cop cars top out at 140 mph.
8. Talk with a Canadian accent, claiming you thought the speed was in kilometers (X, Y, Zed. What are you talking aboot?, eh?)
7. Cry
6. Ask the officer if he can give you an escort home and wait outside for half an hour because you really, really have to go to the bathroom.
5. Tell the police you're on a photo shoot.
4. Explain to the officer that you are testing Einstein's theory of relativity in regrets to high speeds and the slowing of time.
3. Try to cause an accident while pulling over.
2. Thank the officer for scaring off the band of gypsies that was following you.
1. One word: *****."

Ummm, just so you know, point 8 won't work.
If you claim you thought the speed was in KM, then you would have been doing less than the legal speed limit.
A speed limit in the US of 60m/h is 100km/h. It only works for American's going into Canada and claiming they thought the speed limit of 100 was in miles, not km. :-)

It could ....
.... you'd be suprised. Come up with a whacky "excuse" and some cops will let you off just because it's the funniest damn thing they've ever heard!
Tell them point 8 and they won't think you'd funny, just stupid. ;-)

Now, for those interested, some serious ways ...
... to get out of a ticket, or at the very least, get it knocked down.
1. When you come flying over that hill and you finally see the officer, do NOT put on your brakes to try and slow down - especially if you're in a pack of cars. Take your foot off the the gas or gear down ... you don't want those lights going on. For starters, it's a tell tale sign that you KNOW you're speeding. If you're in a pack and the officer's radar goes off, those brake lights are a nice homing beacon. At the very least, it's a worthless effort. By the time you see the cop and go for the brake you've already been clocked.
2. Get pulled over ... don't be an ***. Yes sir, no sir - and don't be sarcastic about it. You've got your job, they've got theirs. ;-)
3. Have your ID ready. You've be pulled over, you know the routine. Making them ask and wait while you fumble around just annoys them.
4. Open your window before they get to the car, especially if it's raining. Making them tap on that window and wait can really tick them off, especially when they're standing in the rain.
5. When they ask - and they almost do - if you know why you were pulled over, don't volunteer speeding as an option. Admission of guilt. No sir, I'm sorry, I don't. When they tell you that you were clocked doing 30 or 40 over, look suprised. "How fast??! Wow, I'm sorry, that's not like me. Man, where was my head."
6. Ask your spouse or passengers to wait until the officer leaves before they start bitching at you for going too fast. "I told you so's" when the officer is there won't help your case.
7. If they ask you to get out of the car, don't ask why, just get your butt out of the car. Reminding them them you're best friends with Johnnie Cochrane won't help your case and build brownie points.
