Many times this factor alone will result in a motorist not being ticketed in the first place. It is always good to stroke the officers ego as officers rightfully take great pride in the work that they do. Always address with YES SIR, OFFICER, ect. It goes along way. Also, making no threating sudden movements and keeping your hands at 10 and 2 during the traffic stop will result in the officer being less tense and hopefully overlooking or letting you go on minor offenses.

If the officer is having a rough day and you're the only polite, smiling face, it just might tip the scale and get you off with a warning. Better to try and fail than never try at all, right? Although, better to not speed. :) Paul – Who knows? If the officer is having a rough day and you’re the only polite, smiling face, it just might tip the scale and get you off with a warning.

The tip about keeping your hands on the steering wheel and turning on your dome light is great. I've heard from many police officers that this makes pulling someone over much less nerve racking. Consequently, by being considerate to them, they'll be considerate to you. Great advice, Andrew. The tip about keeping your hands on the steering wheel and turning on your dome light is great.

I have usually added a disclaimer to posts like this, which I forgot to do initially on this one. But you've reminded me to fix that.

Also be careful to qualify everything remotely advice-like with "this is merely intended for information purposes". Be wary of appearing to promise more than can be achieved (a big source of bar complaints). That is just my humble advice, which of course is just intended to be information purposes :) Speeding tickets are very difficult to get out of in Albe/Cville.
