Ways to Talk Yourself Out of a Ticket

When was the last time you were pulled over for speeding?  Did you get a ticket or did you talk your way out of it? If you need some tips for the next time you get stopped, MSN Money has come up with 7 ways to talk yourself out of a ticket.

1. I'm late for a funeral:  Tell the officer you're running late and was speeding to try to make up time when you were pulled over.  Say you've been driving for hours and was at risk of missing your grandpa's service because you got lost

2.  I'm such a clown:  Whatever the situation is that got you pulled over, make 'lite' of it.  Laughter is the best medicine.

3.  I'm going to wet my pants:  Desperately squirm in your seat and say you've got to go potty.  If there's kids in the car, use them as a bathroom excuse.

4.  I look awful - just look at me:  You're not feeling well at all, whether it's 'that time of month' or a bad case of bronchitis.  Use your sickness to your advantage.

5.  The music made me do it:  You're do into your favorite song on the radio.  Officer, what can I say, I can't drive slow when I have on Big Frog 104.  Who can argue with that.

For the complete list go to MSN Money.
