Here's one I got in an email last year.
If You Get A Traffic Ticket, This has been tried and it works.....
I tried to send this to everyone I know. I know that for a fact this works so if you ever get in this situation, you have an out.
We discovered that this procedure works in every state. Read it and try it, you have nothing to lose but the points on your license.
This is how it works:
If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, and you are going to get points on your license, then there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points.
When you get your fine, send in the check to pay for it and if the fine is say, $79, then make the check out for $82 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a check for the difference, but here is the trick!
***DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK!!!***
Throw it away!! Points are not assessed to your license until all financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the check, then the transactions are NOT complete. However, the system has gotten its money and is happy and will not bother you any more. This information came to our attention from an very reliable computer company that sets up the standard database used by each states' DMV.
A good friend of mine believes this and I can't convince him he is wrong, even after showing him urban legend debunker websites that list this particular legend...
