Excuses for Traffic Tickets - We've all been there. You're driving along (Maybe too fast? Or changing lanes without signaling?) when you glance up in the rearview mirror and see the worst: the police. Those blue lights come on, the siren wails, and you know...you're about to be pulled over. Few things give you quite the same lump in your throat!

It's never smart to lie to a police officer about why you committed a traffic offense (but depending on your state, it may be smart to be pretty quiet until traffic court) but if you happen across the right officer when committing a minor enough offense you may be able to get away with a warning.
