The Speeding Tip for Wednesday, July 30th, 2025. Radar has been shown to clock houses and palm trees moving at speeds up to 90 MPH. |
What This Site Is...
This site is designed to be the single best (but not a "stand-alone") guide to speed as it relates to traffic safety. I
hope you will find all the information you need to learn the best driving tactics to speed
safely and still avoid paying a fine to "Big Brother." Included
are tips for general driving safety, speeding, and other related "ticket fighting" information.... so, before you
pay that fine, before you pay for a "Running the Red Light" or a "Failure To Yield Right Of Way" fine....
look here.
While I tend to refer to my home country quite a bit (The U.S.) many of the tips and guidance applies just as equally
in any other (democratic) country. There are minor differences and even some larger ones (such as the presumption of
guilt... in the U.S. a vehicle's owner is not responsible for criminal action committed by the driver... yet) but for the
most part, everything tends to generally be the same. But, there are also a great sites for Californian, Canadian, and U.K.
tickets in the links section. Please note that this site is a VERY generic site, designed to work for most all locals.
However... City, County, State, and National (and even international, in some cases) laws, statutes, and procedures vary.
This site most certainly can't address the specific laws or procedures of every place on Earth. But, if you want to find
where to start your search for the information you seek... this site should help you find it.
What This Site Is NOT...
First and foremost, it is not an endorcement for unlimited speed. I do not in any way aspire to the
idea that speeds on Interstates and major highways are the same as in crowded neighborhoods. Nor do I feel (opinion) that
unlimited speeds would be safe on some, or even most, Interstates. But, 85th percentile speeds are safe and should also be
legal. Traffic enforcement should be about safety, not revenue. Nor is this site in any way meant to be an aid to usurping
the law. It is designed to educate and inform about safe driving... and why driving in a legal manner and driving in a safe
manner are, quite often, two very different things.
As you read through the site, I fully suspect many to be here looking to beat a ticket. It's what I did in my quests to beat
tickets. So, you will (or so I hope) find some of what you seek to beat a speeding ticket.
Note, SOME... not ALL. No single site will ever give you everything you need. And, you'll find plenty of information, that
today, you don't "need". But, someday, you will. Or, more to my hopes... you won't NEED, because you were prepared for such
an event already. My site is not designed to guide you completely from the moment you are stopped to the moment you get out
of court. (though it just might help) It is an aid. Just an aid. Nothing more, nothing less. You will still have much work
to do on your own.
But, my goal, be it through direct statement or through subterfuge, is to educate. Educate about the various issues of
traffic safety, mostly as such relates to speed. To educate about the law and the legal process (or what small bits I know).
And to educate why simply paying a ticket is the worst way to be a safer driver. Win or lose, if you leave this site knowing
more than you did when you started, then my goal is reached. And, I hope, by then, you'll understand just why that is my
goal. And you'll understand why two words are responsible for the death on American (and other) roads. Those words, "speed
kills", have been more responsible for death and carnage on roads than any others in history. No quick fix can change that.
The information presented here is arranged in a book format. It starts with the Table of Contents. From there, each topic is presented in a separate chapter. As you continue, there will be various types of information. Quotes from outside sources should appear italic and a link is provided afterwards. The link opens a separate browser window directly to the area the quote was taken from. At the bottom of each page, there will be a link to the next page or chapter, in large print. After this, there will be a link to return you to the Table of Contents. From any page, you can press the letter H to go to the Table of Contents. Finally, you should see three pull down menu bars at the top of each page. To use the menu system just move the mouse over the desired menu. If you don't have JavaScript... never mind.
Please check back often as I complete or update various portions. To see my current ideas, please
visit Coming Soon! I have also added
a testimonial page. I appreciate your suggestions and advice regarding this site. It is designed for you, the reader.
Anything which makes it better is welcomed. Thank you for your visit and I hope you find everything you need.
