I have lost count at the number of times I've been pulled over. I got a radar detector they went down almost nothing. Except when non-speeding type stuff is used as a rationale (laregely BS). But I have zero tickets on my record for 20 years, maybe longer, because I fight the ticket in court every single time. Never plead guilty that's just asking to get double-tapped. First by state DMV once the points hit, and then by your insurance aching for an excuse to jack up your rate.
So I go to the traffic court, the prosecutor says "I'll trade you one failure to show license or no seat belt with a $200 fine and you get no points. Deal?"

I gave this advice to a colleague. For some ridiculous reason his spouse tells him to plead guilty because he "deserved it for speeding all the darn time" (we was dong 90 in a 65). Then two weeks later like clock work he received a $700 surcharge from the state and the insurance company is sure to follow because anything over 80 gets 6 points.
