talk your way out of a ticket

Works on some cops, fails on others.

 

yeah i automatically do most of that stuff. More often that not it works, but it all depends on the cop. The key is to make them feel bad about giving you a ticket, like you're such a good dude, he won't want to ruin your day. i've had a couple tickets turned into warnings at the last minute thanks to that very reason. just be smiley, jovial, and crack good-natured jokes when appropriate.
