We all will get at least one or two in our lifetime. A speeding ticket is something nobody wants to have but it's inevitable. So, if it's your first speeding ticket, fret not. You are not the first to be written with such and you will not be the first to get out of it hassle-free if you know what to do.

The first thing you should really do is to not rev up your engine to a speed. That will definitely get you off the radar. With the new technologies being used to clock your vehicle's speed, it will really be a matter of time before you get your first speeding ticket if you're not careful.

It is also important to know the following things so you can check and balance with your own conditions:

- Officers have the eye for sports cars especially the red and black ones.

- A red car, although not a sports type, catches the officer's attention more than a white car.

- A flashy car will catch attention too.

- Many motorists get tickets during Sundays when there is less traffic on the road.

- More motorists get tickets on the 30th of each month than any other days.

- Officers are humans and their emphatic sides can be tapped if you know how.

- First-time violators are mostly given just a warning.

If you have already received your first speeding ticket then you have several options - fight, plea, or pay. If you prefer to fight, you may end up losing and paying just the same amount as the fine. You get added insurance premiums, too.

Paying helps you get rid of that ticket from your sight but it does not really disappear. You will get bad points on your license, that's one. The other, more stressful consequence is you will be charged almost 50% more on your insurance premium. So you have to really pay a lot and still get the worst part of the deal.

Pleading in court would be the best move. Your initial hearing is the most important one so you should not be absent. You will plead not guilty of course. You trial schedule can also be rescheduled. This will help you delay the case so take advantage. The more you delay the hearing, the more chance the officer will forget to attend and your case will be instantly dismissed.

You can also plead for a driving school option. This is only valid for those who haven't undergone one for 12 months prior to the citation. The rulings too, will depend on which state you were given the citation. When the school sessions are completed, the charges will be dropped and you still have a nice, clean record.

If you're going for the court trial, you will have to prepare a lot for it. Make your defense really plausible. Prepare the necessary evidences that can help strengthen your case.

When it's time to appear in court for your first speeding ticket, dress to impress or just blend well and stand out a bit from the rest. This will get the attention of the judge and maybe earn you some good points just by looking neat and professional.
