Can Traffic School Help? (again ...)

Well, I got another speeding ticket yesterday. It was similar to the one I received earlier this year, where I was on a city street that merges directly onto the highway. Yesterday I was driving on West Temple - and about 1/2 a block before it technically becomes the on-ramp to I-15 South, when I saw a moto cop in my rear view mirror speed out with his lights roaring.

I have NEVER been able to get out of a ticket when pulled over for speeding. It's honestly something I've had a lot of practice with - but for some reason, my various tactics have never worked. I've tried:


> Acting extremely sorry
> To be surprised & sorry
> In a hurry - "can you help me out today?'
> Being upset
> To find a technical loophole - "I'd like to see the radar gun" - and even "when was the last time this was calibrated?"

None of these have ever worked. In fact when I tried the Technical Loophole play, the cop informed me that he was the Laser & Radar Detector trainer manager for all of Salt Lake County - he gave me an in-depth lesson on how the technology works - and showed me the record of when his machine had last been calibrated (the day prior).

I've heard numerous stories of friends (usually females) who have gotten a warning. I'd love a warning - just once! This, for some reason, is one of my weaknesses! Why can't I do better???

I already attended Traffic School once this year - I think there is a limit of attending only once per year. Looks like I'm screwed here too. Guess I could always try to slow down ...
