Let’s face it, no one likes getting a ticket. It can make you late for work, or just plain ruin your day. As much as we want to play the victim, there is a reason for traffic tickets, and that is to keep the road safe. If you want to avoid the boys (and the girls) in blue, you should avoid these three traffic violations:
1. Speeding: The faster you go the longer it takes for you to react to a potentially hazardous situation. It may seem ok to just go “10 over”, but if a pedestrian runs in front of your car, you might have a problem. The speed limit is there for a reason, so obey it.
2. Illegal cell phone use: Although just a few states ban all cell phone use in cars, more than 30 have banned texting behind the wheel. Why? Because it only takes one glance down at your phone to lose control of your vehicle. Just put your phone away while driving, you’ll avoid a ticket and a potential accident.
3. Equipment violations: Heavily tinted windows, burned-out headlights, broken windshields, and expired tags are all common equipment violations that people get tickets for every day. Keep your car maintenance up to snuff, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it!
