There are many reasons that people get traffic tickets in their daily commutes, but some issues are more avoidable than others. By taking just a few precautions, you can avoid racking up unnecessary fines as you travel to and from work. All you have to do is follow a simple set of rules. The first rule to consider is that you should not drive a car that you are not familiar with. Many people accidentally speed because they do no realize how fast they are going. The more you use the same car, the more likely you are to recognize how it handles and how fast it is currently traveling with road traffic. If you do have to travel in a newer vehicle, please pay close attention to the speedometer. That is the best way to avoid whizzing by a cop.
