That is good advice, but take it with a grain of salt. I know it’s hard to believe, but police and courts are not in the business of your protection. They are there to keep the roads safe.
This advice should also be taken with a grain of salt:
#1 Never speed, even if you’re passing someone. The odds are high that if you get pulled over, the officer will claim you were driving too fast for conditions (poor road conditions) even if you weren’t speeding when you got pulled over. In the end, all they have is eyeballing the car and perception of speed and nothing else. The officer has no evidence that he can use against you aside from his estimate, which may or may disagree with yours, so be honest and accept whatever ticket comes your way.
#2 Don’t go after cops for tickets; avoid getting caught altogether by being good at evasive driving techniques such as weaving in and out of traffic without exceeding reasonable speeds or turning on red lights at intersections to give yourself enough time to react once stopped by an officer.
#3 Don’t make up excuses for why you were speeding or how much under-the-limit speed was reasonable and prudent risk-taking behavior because they will most likely find fault with your accuser (officer).
#4 If you violate any state or federal traffic laws, expect consequences, including hefty fines, license suspension/revocation, jail time, etc., whether justified or not, depending on how badly they feel abusing their authority. Ultimately it is up to each person how they want to handle things based on their circumstances, e.g., do they want to wait until an incident happens before addressing a problem? Do they want to address the issue immediately? Is this physically possible?
You can be cited for speeding if you drive over 20 miles over the speed limit.
You can be cited for speeding if you drive over 20 miles over the speed limit. The fines for speeding depend on how fast you are going, but they can range from $50 to $200. Speeding tickets in a school zone can lead to a fine of up to $300, so it’s essential to know your local laws before getting behind the wheel!

The fine for speeding depends on how fast you are traveling. The penalty is higher if you’re going faster than the speed limit. Things get complicated if your speed is slower than the limit but higher than 20 miles over it (or 30 miles per hour in some areas).
The amount of money charged by police officers will vary depending on where they are, what time of day it is, and if they feel generous. They can charge a flat fee per ticket or tack on additional payments such as court costs and surcharges for being caught driving during an illegal street racing event (if there were no other witnesses to back up your story).

If you’re convicted of speeding in a school zone, your driver’s license will be suspended for 30 days, and you could face additional penalties, including:
If you get a speeding ticket, have it reviewed through an independent review process.

If you know you are likely to get a speeding ticket, getting an electronic device like a radar detector can be a good idea.
If you know you are likely to get a speeding ticket, getting an electronic device like a radar detector can be a good idea. Radar detectors are legal in New York and can help you avoid getting a speeding ticket if you’re driving faster than the speed limit. They can also help you avoid getting access if the police officer uses their radar gun on your car and determines that your vehicle is speeding up and down the road.
If you get pulled over and made to give a breathalyzer, you may be able to ask that they only take your blood alcohol content and not your blood, which has higher concentrations of alcohol in it and may produce higher numbers.

Speeding tickets can be contested in court if you have all of the evidence related to the access and meet with the prosecutor who issued it.
If you have all of the evidence related to your speeding ticket and meet with the prosecutor who issued it, you can ask for a review of the key. This option is unavailable if you have less than $100 in fines or penalties on your record.
Find out all you can about how high your speed limit is and how much of a fine will result from exceeding it by a certain amount.
The first thing you should do is find out how much your speed limit is. This can be done by calling the local police department or looking it up on their website. If no laws specify the maximum speed limit for a particular road, then it will be based on engineering standards and experience. Some cities have set limits as low as 15 miles per hour (24 kilometers per hour).
If you do get a ticket for speeding in New York City, then there are several things you can do to fight back: appeal the ticket, file an affidavit of non-usage, file a motion to dismiss/strike…
The New York City Police Department is frequently criticized for failing to ticket drivers who violate the road rules. The department has received much criticism from citizens, but it has also seen some success in combating speeding offenses with new technology.
In 2010, Governor David Paterson signed a bill requiring many speed limit changes throughout New York. The new law required speed limits to be adjusted throughout the state. Some cities have implemented automated enforcement systems or changed their traffic lights to adjust their speed limits accordingly. Some cities have even installed speed cameras on city-owned property or near schools and green space areas.
Potholes are a significant problem in many areas of New York City and are always causing traffic jams and slowdowns. For sites to repair potholes quickly, they often employ street sweepers to clean up sidewalks manually. At the same time, traffic usually flows behind them so that they can quickly repair any holes left behind by street sweepers when they complete their route. The roads will be fixed soon because of this system. Still, there have been times when drivers were caught doing illegal actions, such as speeding through certain intersections where street cleaners were present after street sweeping was completed because no one was watching for them. The police did not receive many complaints about illegal actions committed by people going through intersections that had been swept after street sweeping occurred. This led to an increase in tickets being issued for unlawful acceleration through corners where street sweepers were present after a time without any accessible parking placards blocking these intersections from receiving a ticket due to an increase in violations occurring at these intersections afterward, as well as other significant violations (such as improper turning at red lights).
The NYPD also helped stop illegal activity on subway trains during rush hour periods by having undercover officers ride subway trains rush hour periods between 7 AM and 9 AM every day from November 1st, 2012, until October 31st, 2013, looking out for dangerous conditions.
