Sure-fire method to avoid speeding tickets:

Don't speed.

I'm 40 years speeding ticket-free.

I hope you're not one of those obnoxious people who drive exactly 65mph in the leftmost lane and create a dangerous traffic situation for everyone else. :-D

Cops can pull you over and give you a ticket for *anything* they want. They were pulling over cars 3-4 at a time last week. I got pulled over as well, the cop claimed that I was driving on the "zebra" lines (shoulder, basically) which was a lie. I had a passenger in my car, so I am fighting it.

That's the boring solution. And will get you run off the road in Tucson, there are chunks of road here where 15 over will get your doors blown off.

That usually works, but not always. One time I got a ticket for exceeding 55 in rural San Luis Obispo county, even though I was not speeding. I think he gave me a ticket just because it was 2:30 in the morning (I had just gotten off work).

I went to court, and was found not guilty, as the CHP officer who was driving (and could read the speedometer) couldn't remember all the details, and was relying on hearsay from his partner.

Yeah, and you probably drive in the left lane at less than the speed limit blocking traffic.
