2. Be polite and respectful. When the officer approaches your vehicle, be polite and respectful. Roll down your window and wait for the officer to ask you for your license and registration.
3. Provide the officer with your license and registration. When the officer asks for your license and registration, hand them over without hesitation. Do not reach for anything in the glove box or the console of your vehicle without first asking the officer for permission.
4. Explain why you were speeding. If the officer asks you why you were speeding, be honest and apologetic. Do not make excuses or try to argue with the officer.
5. Accept the ticket. If the officer issues you a ticket, accept it without argument. You can contest the ticket later in court if you believe you were not speeding.
6. Pay the ticket or contest it in court. You have a certain amount of time to pay the ticket or contest it in court. The amount of time varies from state to state.
7. Attend traffic school. If you contest the ticket and lose, you may be required to attend traffic school. Traffic school can help you learn about the law and improve your driving habits.
