[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1387729, member: 27852"] Since we're NEPRT.... I'm not proud of it, but in my life, I've been pulled over for speeding at least 20 times, and likely more. I've been ticketed perhaps 1 out of every 4, and likely less. Why am I so lucky? These are my theories: 1. Body Language: Show 'em your hands. Assume a humbling posture and a face that isn't aggressive, pissed off, or any inkling of a "meanie face". 2. Honesty: "Yes sir, I was speeding." Tell the truth. Sometimes the reason is at least somewhat reasonable. "I'm watching that weather behind me and I'm trying to get to the next town quickly and take cover." "I've got 700 miles to go today and I'm just trying to make time." Whatever the case may be. Unless of course the reason is "The FJR forum said my bike can go 156 in low wind conditions and I was testing that out!" It helps to throw in a quip about the trip. "I've been on my bike all week just living the dream". Puts reality into it. 3. Maintain a clean driving record. When I get a ticket, I take the safety course, pay the extra extortion, call the District Attorney and plead.... whatever it takes to make sure that when I'm pulled over, my record is clean. 4. Ask the officer for Consideration. Before the officer goes back to his/her unit, politely and matter of factly ask for a warning. Tell him/her I have a clean record and I will slow down. The worst thing that can happen is fixing to happen anyway. I've got nothing to lose. I'd be interested in hearing from our LEO members regarding these ideas, and any others that may be offered.
