So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Common Sense Approaches To Help You Avoid Speeding Tickets

By Rowena Morales


The absolute best way to avoid all speeding tickets is to simply not drive. This isn't possible for the majority of us though since most work for a living. So if you don't like public transportation, the following tips should be helpful. Unless you like riding the bus.

1. Watch your speed. It goes without saying, but if you want to avoid speeding tickets, then DON'T SPEED! It's as simple as that. If you are going to speed - save it for the highways.

2. Be prepared. Avoid speeding tickets by not standing out from the crowd. You can help yourself with this by going around your car and making sure all lights are functioning. Your mirrors, blinkers, headlights and tail lights need to all function correctly.

3. Quality of your vehicle. The cleaner, more up-to-date and overall better looking condition your vehicle is in, the less likely you are to be noticed by the officer. Simple things like a little touch up paint, fixing cracked windshields and various cosmetic repairs will go a long way toward not getting pulled over and getting that speeding ticket.

4. Don't sleep and drive. Keep yourself alert by sitting up straight and being aware of your surroundings. Police can be anywhere. Pay particular attention to things such as over passes and bends in the road as these can be magnets for cops and your next speeding ticket.

5. Don't be suspicious. If you drive a 1987 Olds Cutlass then don't go driving in nicer neighborhoods as this will definitely spark a cops interest.

6. Don't attract unnecessary attention. Everyone knows that driving a nice high performance car will always draw more attention than say a Ford Taurus will.

7. Beware of curves. Don't go round them curves too fast. You never know what (or who) may be waiting for you on the other side to give you a speeding ticket!

8. Avoid the left lane. Most cops will admit to targeting the left lane of the highway when looking to give out speeding tickets. This lane is known as the 'fast lane' and motorists usually do more speeding in this lane than the other lanes.

9. Know your territory. Its important to know your town or city and what resources they have for law enforcement. It may seem like there isn't a cop for miles. But that van or SUV parked on the side of the street could be a photo radar unit. They will automatically give you a speeding ticket, they have no conscious.

10. Pay attention ahead of you for brake lights. This is an easy way to be alerted to the fact that there is an officer gunning people for speeding tickets. On highways drivers rarely hit their brakes unless someone has abruptly pulled in front of them.

11. Know what the cops drive. Like innocent little fish swimming past the jaws of a lurking shark, many drivers don't realize the inconspicuous sedan in the next lane is a police officer--until it's too late! These normally look just like the other police vehicles in your town, they're just painted like a civilian car, and they give out just as many speeding tickets as any other police vehicle.

12. Beware of speed traps. Speed traps occur in virtually every part of the country. Knowing where they might be before you get on the road is a wise decision. Find out if the road you will be traveling has any speed traps listed on Speedtrap.org.

You cant avoid all speeding tickets unfortunately, but you can take some common sense approaches to cut down on them.
