Speeding Tickets in California

Speeding tickets in California can cost you a lot more than just the cost of the speeding ticket. These tickets can cost upwards of $300 and will put a point on your driving record as well. Here are ways you can avoid speeding tickets:

1. Always be conscious and alert when operating a motor vehicle.
    
2. Pay attention to the signs, traffic patterns, how other people are driving, and where you are. Wherever the speed limit drops from 65 to 55, 55 to 45, or 45 to 35, danger lurks. Most speeders struggle to keep their speed at only 10 over the limit. So suddenly the limit drops by 10 and now you're 20 over.
    
3. Notice the flow of the traffic. If your speed doesn't blend in the traffic, and if you're the one passing everyone else, you'll attract the attention of the traffic officer, even if everyone else is speeding too. Knowing where you are is especially important in highway driving.
    
4. Between cities you are less likely to pick up a ticket. An easy place to pick up a traffic citation is right at the city or town limits. In town, a school sign of any kind should be an automatic alarm-by habit.
    
5. Learn the speed traps. Wherever you see a law enforcement vehicle parked once, expect one there again. You can tell if they're ambushing speeders by how and where they're parked, so make a mental note to always be extra careful in that vicinity.
    
6. Even if you don't know the area, pay attention to sudden changes in grade where your speed will increase going down a long hill or large vegetation in a wide median where police cars can hide easily. Bridges are often danger zones as well, so don't come off a bridge going more than 10 mph faster than the limit.
    
7. Look as far ahead as possible and watch the side of the road carefully. Concentrate. Pay attention to what you're doing. Most speeding tickets result from lack of concentration on driving. You will be surprised how often you can spot police cars ahead if you're watching. This will allow you time to slow down before he can determine that it was your vehicle he spotted on the radar.
