Drive within the legal limit. The best way to avoid getting a ticket is to make sure that you are driving within the posted speed limits. You should be careful for speed traps. Police officers are aware of sudden speed changes and so should you.
Do not to bring attention to yourself. In other words, you should not frequently or aggressively change lanes. In so doing, you make yourself more noticeable to law enforcement. Not only will you be more prone to getting a speeding ticket, but you will open yourself to other infractions such as reckless driving and unsafe lane changing.
Try to blend in. Try to stay in the middle of a pack of cars, therefore there are cars going the same speed as you both in front and behind you, and this way you are blending in with the traffic around you rather then not.
Avoid the left lane. Need I say more?
Be alert for cutouts. This is a favorite spot for law enforcement to wait and pick off speeders. Whenever you come across cut outs, always remember to reduce your speed.
