You pay taxes all the time, when you buy something, on April 15, all the time. You pay to have a CHL and are happy to have the opportunity to live in a state that allows you to pay that tax.

A speeding ticket is no different. It is a tax. Its the fact that you got a ticket is the part that is bugging you, its really just another tax, pay it and don't let it spoil your week. Life is too short.

Once you take this view, speeding tickets are much easier to deal with.

You will also find that with this mindset, your interaction with the police is better, your calmer, less stressful and they may also respond by not giving you the ticket or reducing the speed. After all its not a ticket your just paying a tax.

But on the other hand your insurance company knowing about it is different. So take the defensive driving.
