如何避免超速罚单?

万维读者网记者捷夫编译报道：从后视镜望去，所能看到的只有警车闪动着的警灯，你不禁心跳加快、额头冒汗。你超速了，而且这次的罚单或许不是一笔小数目。也可能在你脚踩刹车的那一瞬间，警车呼啸而过，原来它的目标是别人，你这才松了一口气。

虽然侥幸脱逃，但你没准儿就是警车抓获的下一个超速者。我们每个驾车人一辈子至少会遭遇到一次这类情形。驾车超速被警察捕获或万幸无恙、看着警车追向别人，个中滋味都不好受。

现在，网络权威媒体CarNews Media的专栏作家Jeff Voth先生就来向各位揭示有关加拿大警察处理超速车辆和违章司机正确应对的一些秘密。

开车多快才算“超速”?

一般来说，即使超出限速9-15公里，警察都不会找你的麻烦。但你的车速要是超过限速15公里以上而且碰上警车，你的大名就有可能被地方甚至省警局纪录在案。同时，汽车保险公司也会对超过限速20公里的违章司机加收为数不小的保险金额。

根据不同情况调整车速

于限速每小时20公里的学校周围驾车，你必须严守限速要求。在经常有孩子们玩耍和过街的地方，警察通常会严罚那些超速人。试想一下，如果你自己的儿子或女儿正要过马路而有开车人试图超速通过，你能容忍吗?

了解车流，极为重要

车流(traffic flow, 一译“交通流”)意义重大，你可千万别去充当“出头鸟”。在高速公路上开车，尽量使用巡航控制(cruise control)。同样的道理，在高速公路上你即使略有超速，警察一般也不会对你“特别关照”。与周围大多数车辆保持相似速度很重要；假使有人想更快，就让他们超车。记住，坚决不做车流中开得最快的司机，把被警察拦截的机会“礼让”给别人。

警惕周围和对面车辆的暗示

过去这种做法十分普遍，一些好心的司机会对对开车辆鸣笛或闪灯，告知路况危险或有警察测速。现在这种人少了，不过还是有人会对他人作出各种暗示或明示，这在弯道和山路中很有帮助。遇到这种情况，立即减速才是一个聪明的对策。

观察警车通常都喜欢躲在哪儿

警车的藏身之处有时是有规律可循的。它们大多安安静静地躲在容易形成车流的区域或限速骤然改变的地段，以及路桥(overpass, 或译“天桥”)、紧急车辆专用车道(emergency vehicle only)和通向高速公路的坡道(on-ramps to the highway)。假如你天天经过这些地方去上班上学，那你就更有机会去仔细揣摩、及时调整车速了。

利用大型货运卡车的安全速度

在加拿大的绝大部分地区，使用雷达探测器(radar detector or fuzz buster)属于非法。货运卡车司机于是利用CB Communication了解前方路段的“速度陷阱”。因此，在高速公路长途旅行，与一辆货运卡车保持安全距离，其效果无异于在使用一部雷达探测装置。

如何正确应对警察截停你的座驾

如你超速而被警察逮个正着，那一脸正气的警官通常有三个选择：向你发出警告；对你开出罚单；给你戴上手铐逮捕你。当然，这最后一个是你绝对应该设法避免的。

当被警车示警，你得尽快将车停靠路旁，使其感到你尊重了他或她的权威。假装没看见警灯闪烁、没听到警笛长鸣，从而延长警车的追赶距离，是你此时最不能做的事情。停车后立即打开紧急事故灯；同时你必须尽量放松，给警官一些时间对你的汽车进行观察。他或她接着会来查验你的大牌和文件；你则应把保险单据及驾照准备好，万万不要在这时突然做出任何易于引起误解的举动。不要打开车门，但要摇下车窗、摘下墨镜；将双手轻放在方向盘上。

做好上述每一件事情，相信你会感到警官不同的反应。

与警官进行语言交流，你应彬彬有礼。假如事情发生在夜晚，你应主动打开车内的照明灯，表示你没有任何隐藏。回答问题要坦诚；被问及是否知道遭警车截停的原因，最好说“知道”(如果你确实知道自己是超速了的话)，尽管这也可能无法挽救你吃罚单的厄运。

综上所述，熟知这些窍门儿一定能使你减少被罚的机会。当然，绝对避免超速罚单最有效的办法永远只有一个，那就是不去超速。

任何情况下，不要对警察说的35句话：

1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.



2. Sorry officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.



3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People band?



4. Hey, you must have been doing 125 to keep up with me. Good job.



5. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a

police officer.



6. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.



7. Bad cop, no donut.



8. You're not going to check the trunk are you?



9. Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence.



10. Didn't I see you get your butt kicked on COPS?



11. Wow, you look just like the guy in the picture on my girlfriend's

night stand.



12. Is it true that people become cops because they're too dumb to work at

McDonalds?



13. I pay your salary.



14. So uh, you on the take or what?



15. Gee officer, that's terrific. The last officer only gave me a

warning.



16. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us knows.



17. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other

cars around, that's how far ahead they are.



18. What do you mean, "Have I been drinking?" YOU'RE the trained

specialist.



19. Well officer, when I reached down to pick up my bag of crack, my gun

fell off of my lap and got lodged between the brake and the gas pedal,

forcing me to speed out of control.



20. Hey, is that a 9 mm? That's nothing compared to this 44 magnum.



21. Hey, can you give me another one of those full cavity searches?



22. No, YOU assume the position.



23. I'm surprised you stopped me, Dunkin Donuts is having a 3 for 1

special!



24. If I bend over, will I still get a ticket?



25. No, offi, offic,lucifer...I'm not as think you are drunk I am. I swear

to dog.



26. No, I don't know how fast I was going. The little needle stops at 110

mph.



27. Back off Barney, I've got a piece.



28. But officer, I've got 2 different drivers licenses from 2 different

states! Pick ONE!



29. I know I was weaving, but I was trying to hit all the little green

men!



30. On the way to the station, let's get a six pack, oh and don't forget

the cig's.



31. Come on, write the stupid ticket, the bars close in 20 minutes!



32. Hey, wasn't your daughter a porn queen?



33. How long is this going to take? Your wife is expecting me.



34. So that's what those yellow flashing lights in the school zone mean.



35. What do you use those rubber gloves for anyway?

超速当场被拿下，如果您是女生，用手擦眼睛啦，赶快挤眼泪啦，说，警官我好紧张。哦。。。然后不多说，看警察反应，，一般不会给罚单。如果您是蓝士，抱歉，千万别说以上35句，哈哈哈。。。后果会很严重。

我知道10哩以下是容許的。好像不是15哩。

一次我急于回家，可能超速15哩了。剛過一旱橋洞，橋堍側有輛躲著的警車亮燈了，我一緊張，還好我後面另一輛車，也以同樣速度跟著我。警車一出來就跟上他。我逃過一劫
