Speeding Tricks & Tips???

If laser is used in your area, you have no choice but to use a rabbit.

Doesn't the jammer take care of laser? Did you mean I/O?

Ah, but the OP doesn't have a jammer and has been trying to find an alternate defense against laser besides using a jammer:

Hi! I was just wondering what some good tricks and tips are when driving to not getting a ticket...I know about having a rabbit but i mean other tactics that help you to avoid the ticket, in both city and highway settings???

~Thanks

If you really want a great countermeasure for about $100 get a CB.

CB can warn you miles ahead of your RD, best investment you will ever make.

If you want top of the line did you can spend more money, but $100 I invested on my CB has saved me more than my RD.

There's plenty of CB threads and vid's that can help you make that choice.

The best way to speed and not get in trouble for it is, become a LEO.

Check your mirrors at least every 10 seconds.........you'd be surprise who can creep up on you without noticing.

Look where you want to go, not where you're going. "Read" the traffic, look for patterns of potential issues like a lot of brake lights comming on, or someone who is weaving in and out.

Once you encounter someone who is too busy talking on the cell phone, putting on make up and in some cases, eating and reading a newspaper, stay away from them, pass them etc., they are a disaster waiting to happen.

Watch the on ramps for possible traps.

When it's raining, the name of the game is less speed, more distance.

Check your tires regularly, change the oil on time follow the major services per the manual, use OEM parts. Your car is a machine, driving is not a game.

14 years ago I was working in an industry that was flat-out dangerous, with a high risk of permanently disabling or fatal "accidents". Two years after I started, they began a very, very comprehensive safety program, and the "accident" rate plummeted.
When it was all said and done, the safety program boiled down to 4 simple steps.

Step 1: Identify the hazard
Step 2: Develop a plan to minimize or remove the hazard
Step 3: Implement the plan
Step 4: Evaluate how well the plan worked, and adjust as needed

In one way or another, all the suggestions given in this thread fall into one of these 4 steps.

PS, I put accidents in quotes because there was no such thing as accidents, only failures to follow safe working procedures.

1. Speed in the right-hand lane. Cosine factor makes his radar gun read lower than if he tags you head-on. Seems to drop 1 MPH per lane as you move to the right and less the closer he gets as the angle grows. If his mentality is "I'll nail anyone over 80 MPH" and you are in the right-most lane and he reads you at 79 MPH you get a pass. If you are in the center-most (passing) lane, he'll see 80 MPH and you are toast.

2. If you are a woman "CRY" and act fearful of his "GUN" within the first 20 seconds of him pulling you over. He'll try and act chivalrous and calm you down. If you are a man, you're toast. Arguing will always lose points.

3. Avoid frequent lane-changing as it will draw attention to you - signaling or not.

Also, you have to play on his fears and ego to escape. Go read "A Speeder's Guide to Avoiding Tickets" written by a retired LEO. Insightful.

Just a bit off topic, but thanks for the book suggestion. I just bought it on amazon per this discussion and it was only about $7 including shipping! I also like the quote on the back of the book -

"It's a shame that someone with twenty years of service would turn around and do something like this."

X2^ on the avoiding frequent lane changing but if you must change lanes, do it slowly so it doesn't look like you are driving so fast to any possible LEO that is behind you at a distance you cant identify him.
