Whatever works.....(Came across this today) ! How to get out of a speeding Ticket Hey you never know! Not that any of us speed but... Just thought I would share this with you. I work in the ticket enforcement division and in the course of my investigation into fines, their payment methods, and how points are assessed against drivers' licenses, we discovered something very interesting. This has been tried and it works in every state. If you get a traffic ticket for any reason, you are going to get points on your license. But there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points! When you get your fine, send in a check to pay, BUT BE SURE TO OVERPAY THE FINE! Let's say your fine is $75, then make the check out for $80 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then send you back a check for the difference, BUT 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. However, the system has gotten its money and is happy and will not bother you any more. This information came to our attention from a very reliable computer company that sets up the standard database used by each state's DMV. Good luck and share this with all your friends and family members.
