I certainly hope I'm on the back side of those traffic ticket days but this certainly sounds like it might work. Whether it works or not - - it's worth a try!! (Especially if you have teenagers under your roof.)

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET A TRAFFIC TICKET

This advice was sent by a retired State Farm agent!

The system has been tried and it works in every state.

If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, you're going to get points on your license.

This is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get the points .

When you get your fine, send in a check to pay for it. If the fine is $79.00 make the check out for $82.00 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a check for the difference, however here is the trick.

DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK! Throw it away!

Points are not assessed to your license until all financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the check, then the transactions are NOT complete.

The system has received it's money and is satisfied and will no longer bother you (and no points will be added to your license).

This information comes from an unmentionable computer company that sets up the standard databases used by every state.

Send this on to your friends. You never know when they may need a break.
