You might be surprised how much your car and appearance have to do with
this.  Are you driving a nice car, looking clean-cut?  A friend of mine
*always* got tickets, for even the most minor infractions, until she
worked as a nanny and got to drive a BMW 735 or some such.  Then, all
of a sudden, she got warnings and no tickets.  Funny, that; it's the
folks who can afford to buy the BMW that can afford the speeding tickets
without a problem...
