Watch your speedometer. This should go without saying, but it can be easy to slip into a state of mental autopilot and pick up speed without noticing. Get in the habit of glancing at your speedometer periodically to make sure you’re driving at an appropriate speed. The best way to prevent speeding tickets is to practice safe driving. I too, am guilty of this. I occasionally find myself going down the freeway at what I think is a safe and legal 65 MPH, only to glance down at my speedometer and realize I am doing 85. I immediately take my foot off the gas, drop to 65, turn on the cruise control and am thankful no one gave me a ticket.
