I'm with you Perfectlap on fighting the tickets. I haven't had one posted to my driving record since '88. I've always worked out deals with the local judge etc. They just want your money. It's usually twice the face value of the ticket/fine. I pay it and it magically goes away! My insurance rates reflect the years of doing this… (they're cheap!)

I always have slightly smoked license plate covers.
I have had a complete of speeding pull overs get written up as obscuring license plates. These were not excessive speeding.
It gives the officer an option to get the violation but not give you the points
It's all about the money

I always do 15-20 over the limit on the expressway. Usually set the cruise for 17 over (4.5-6 mph speed-o-meter error) I figure that puts me around 11-12 mph over and I've passed cops and never been pulled over. Jinx on me, I'm sure.

Of course, there are no rules on 80/94 around south Chicago and NW Indiana. Sometimes doing 70 mph in a 55 zone will get you run over.

On local streets, I do 10 over the limit (including same speed-o-meter error) I've found the error to be around 4.5 mph while in the 30-50 mph range. Never had a problem.
