    I’m starting to think people see those as a way to get out of speeding tickets.

    In the 80s you just needed to know a cop and get one of those cards.

      Yeah I’ve seen those too, like the ones you donate to receive. I’ve seen people just line them up on top of each other as some hope to receive favor from the officer.

      Its cheaper just to find a fleabag lawyer to talk to the prosecutor. They can get the points removed and change the offense to something like a broken muffler ticket. You still pay the fine, sometimes a little less, but it doent put points on your record and the insurance company won’t raise your rates.

      Source: have done it several times. Costs between $200-300 for lawyer which is far less than the cumulative cost of insurance increases over time.
