I recently got ticket for speeding and co-worker of mine forwarded this info to me. I have not tried and don't know if this is true or not, but it could be helpful....
*********************
If You Get A Traffic Ticket
This has been tried and it works.....
I tried to send this to everyone I
know. I know for a fact this
works so if you ever get in this situation, you
have an out. This procedure works
in every state. Read it and try it, you
have nothing to lose but the
points on your license. If you get a speeding
ticket or went through a red
light or whatever the case may be, and you are
going to get points on your license,
then there is a method to ensure that
you DO NOT get any points.
When you get your fine, send in the
check to pay for it and if the fines
say, $79, then make the check out for
$82 or some small amount over
the fine.
The system will then have to send
you back a check for the
difference, but 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.
However, the system has gotten its money and is happy
and will not bother you anymore.
This information comes from an unmentionable
computer company that sets up the standard
database used by each states DMV.
Good luck!!!

by avoiding accepting responsibility for one's mistakes (i.e., getting points on one's insurance record), one is cheating the system. here is a hidden cost of what ckr is advocating:
-fewer points equals lower insurance premium for offenders
--insurance companies are not stupid and calculate this loss of points-based premium increases into their policies.
---everyone, especially law-abiding drivers, ends up paying more for auto insurance.
ckr's recommendation reminds me of the nepali law (is it still in effect?) that says one must pay lifetime compensation if one injures another in an auto accident---BUT one only has to pay something like 30,000 rupees if one injures someone, then backs over the injured until they die!!! is that messed up OR WHAT????
at least they ain't scorin' any points agin ya, though!! yeeeee haaawwww!!!!
here's an alternative (true story):
a guy gets pulled over for a traffic violation. he admits his mistake, apologizes sincerely to the officer, promises to obey the traffic rules in the future, and hands over his license/registration/proof of insurance--along with a big grin and a "get out of jail free" card from the board game "monopoly." seeing the card, the officer busts out laughing, pockets the card saying "this only works once", and lets the guy off with a warning.
ok--i'm willing to go along with the counterpoint that auto insurance companies also figure into their premiums lost revenue due to violators with good senses of humor (or nice looks) getting off with just warnings.

This action is illegal in most states. They have figured out how people are trying to cheat. My advise, just pay the right amount and go to traffic school. I am sure you do not want to go to jail for speeding and not paying fines.
