Be polite and apologetic (grovel). Plead ignorance, "I didn't realize how fast I was going, Officer!" Another great way to avoid a ticket is to maintain a clean driving record, because they will check. This means fight all your tickets and hire an attorney if necessary. If you have a good record, and you weren't doing anything extremely stupid, there's an excellent chance they will let you go with a warning.</p>NightrainWed, 17 Jan 2007 15:44:49 -0000http://www.northwestcyclereport.com/2007/01/03/motorcycle-traffic-stop-etiquette/#comment-1600012<p>Personally I get off the bike, remove my helmet and my sunglasses, and start removing the seat to retrieve the registration and insurance proof they're gonna ask for. Once they see I'm not some young kid they usually let me go with a warning.</p>Bryan TownsendWed, 10 Jan 2007 19:11:09 -0000
