Speeding tickets can have very large consequences. Speeding and parking problems may cause issues beyond the immediate problem. Speeding may encourage bad actions such as improper or excessive lane changing, failing to signal intent or acting out in case of road rage.
There are a number of good driving habits that will help to avoid speeding charges. If an accident occurs, it will help one to be on the right side of the law when determining who was at fault. These good habits include staying within the speed limit, as well as obeying other laws such as avoiding excessive lane changing and driving on the proper side of the road especially on old narrow roads. Good driving also requires common sense or "reasonable speed under the circumstances". Since what is considered "reasonable" can vary, good legal review and advice can be the best protection for an uncertain situation. When an accident occurs, it is important not to leave but to wait for the police and to remain calm and polite while gathering all appropriate information.
Someone may be blamed even if they felt it was not their fault when, for example, they were hit by another vehicle which had the right of way. After waiting for the police to arrive, the next step is to call
