It can really throw a wrench in your budget when you get a traffic ticket that you were absolutely not expecting to get! And while it seems like traffic tickets are sometimes unavoidable, or on the other hand, while it might seem like the only thing you have to do to avoid traffic tickets is "not drive too fast," neither of these are the case! You can keep yourself from the unpleasant surprise of being stuck paying an unexpected traffic ticket, as soon as you learn how to avoid traffic tickets. If you want to avoid traffic tickets altogether, you need to learn exactly what it is that police officers look for. Of course, they will be watching for people who are speeding, but speeding tickets are not the only tickets they are likely to write. One thing that his helpful to realize is that police are always on the lookout for those who are performing crimes more serious than simple traffic offenses, and many of the extra things for which they can pull you over are largely in place to increase the likelihood that they will find those with more to hide. Because of this, you can often get off the hook with these other tickets as long as you are polite and understanding to the police officer who pulls you over. But of course, you are better off not getting pulled over at all than "getting out of tickets!" One thing that will get you pulled over all the time is headlights that are out; sometimes, you cannot tell while driving that a headlight is out, so check them frequently. This includes your brake lights also, so make sure you have someone help you check these frequently! Police officers are also likely to pull people over whose tags have expired; this is a tough ticket to get out of, so pay attention to your tags and make sure they are always up to date! Finally, watch for stop signs, and actually stop at them - after all, stop signs are there for a reason! And the last thing you want is to be stuck paying a ticket because of something as silly as running through a stop sign.
