Safe Driving Insurance Plan Sometimes Means Being Sneaky

Reader question:

Okay, I know you can avoid a speeding ticket by going whatever everyone else is, but sometimes you just have to speed. I mean, I’m at a new job where if I’m even one minute late that’s automatic termination. Sometimes I have to speed. How do I not get a traffic ticket and get hiked up car insurance rates?

Be sneaky!

Sorry to hear about your job. I had one like that before, and it can drive people to do crazy things. One guy wrecked his car across the street on the way to work–it was visible through the windows and everything–and he came running right to work to explain. He still got fired, though. Even if you’re in a situation like that, you still have to maintain some form of responsility like keeping a Safe Driving Insurance Plan to keep you from doing something that’s going to get you ridiculous rates.

That doesn’t mean you have to always avoid speeding when you have little other choice, but you have to know when, where, and how to do it. For one thing, if you find that most of the other drivers are going the speed limit, then you can pick out a driver that’s going the speed that you need to go and basically tail them from about a hundred yards back. There’s only going to be one cop on your average stretch of road, so if that other guy is in front of you, his speed is going to come up on the radar first and get him in trouble while you pass innocently by.

Another thing to do is hide yourself. It helps to be going in the opposite direction as a patrol car, but that isn’t something you can control. You can stick to the middle lane so that you’re pretty much lost among the pack of cars and it’s harder to get at you or determine that you are the one who’s been speeding. If you’re up front, you’re going to be radared first. If you’re in back of a pack of cars, then you’ll be the first in line when a patrol car catches up to you.
