Getting pulled over sucks for so many different reasons. Even moreso when it ends in you getting a ticket. But have you ever worked your charm to get out out a ticket? Did it work?

Thrilist.com spoke with actual cops on what would make them look other way and let you go with just a warning. Typically this works if you're going less than 20 miles over the speed limit.

  1. As soon as you see the flashing lights put your turn signal on.

    Even if there's nowhere to pull over, this shows the officer that you're acknowledging them and waiting for a safe place to stop. But as soon as their siren goes off, pull over.

  2. Get your license, registration, and insurance out before they get to your window

  3. Kiss up to them BEFORE they go back to the car to run your information.

    This is when they decide if they're going to give you a ticket or not.

  4. Make the officer laugh.

    Obviously this depends on the situation.

  5. Don't be short but don't talk too much either.

    No need to ramble but giving one-word answers to every question also makes you look suspicious.

  6. Be humble and apologize.

    You're speeding and you know it. Own up to it and apologize. Do this before the officer heads back to his car.

How did you get out of a speeding ticket?
