+1... No? So far so good! In several decades of driving I never got a ticket in my life.
Or invest in an excellent radar detector
Years ago I bought Escort 9500ci - little pricey, but worth every penny...
However, nothing is all that effective anymore. It's up to a seasoned driver to use the tools properly, and understand the circumstances and probability of being stopped and cited.
And as a side note, I've avoided most potential speeding tickets by using situational awareness and noticing cues and behavior long before any detector would pick up a threat. I use radar/laser detector as a backup method of detection.
Remember that cops more rigorously enforce speeds on city streets than on highways.
Recognize all the places along the route where you are most vulnerable - cops love to hide behind an overpass support, or just over a hill where they are impossible to spot from a distance.
Go with the flow when all traffic is averaging 10-15 over the limit, but don’t stick out with aggressive lane-changing and other cop-baiting moves...
Another way to keep track of potential speed traps is with the Waze app. The app verbally tells drivers and visually shows where other drivers spotted police.
When driving outside the state, you should be especially careful - police love to target out of state drivers for speeding tickets because they know that it's difficult for that driver to return to that state and go to trial or defend themselves.
Here is a Website that tracks speed traps and what drivers believe are speed traps. If you can prove a road hasn't been studied in five years (or whatever is applicable in your state), you could have a winning defense against a traffic ticket. https://www.motorists.org
That's the only sure way, but 90% or more of drivers don't follow it. Speed limits are too low almost everywhere so everyone speeds.
Anybody that says: "Drive the speed limit" doesn't drive! They would be a hazard on the road.
Actually, if our government was ever serious about our speed limits, nobody would ever speed. They have the technology to make our car manufacturers produce vehicles that would always go no faster than our current speed limits. If that happened nobody would ever want to buy a new 'governed' vehicle.
It is possible that the coming automation will slow down our roads; but that has to be proven. From what I have heard the new AI vehicles still go 5 or 10 mph over the limit. It would not surprise me if they do not get a heavier foot in time.
Or be a really good looking female with good cleavage. Tweak your nipples unbutton the blouse and hike up that skirt before the cop gets to the window.
I’d do it if I was a hot chick. Instead I look like a ****ing caveman dragging knuckles and club. Life is unfair.

Wrong!
When, despite all caution, you creep over the posted limit and get pulled over, don’t BS the cop, especially when he’s got you dead to rights. Insulting an officer with a lame excuse only incentivizes him to make your life miserable. Don’t attempt to dispute it by inferring he’s lying or mistaken.
Man up, and apologize for your poor judgment.
A reasonable, polite, and respectful encounter can often result in being forgiven with a mere warning.

That's 100% complete and total BS. I have never in my 40+ years of driving had so much as a parking ticket, because I simply do not speed.Occasionally, yes, I will go 3 or 4 over accidentally, but I quickly adjust my speed.
I am a grassroots race car driver, and I save that stuff for the track. Plus I drive a rather non-descript Dodge Ram.
If you are constantly tailgating people, swerving, and generally being a complete *******, don't be surprised when you get a bunch of speeding tickets.
