The Waikato police revealed this "simple yet genius" trick to avoid that speeding ticket. "This simple trick prevents the police from ever giving you a speeding ticket again," they said on Facebook.
"We figured we'd post it here to try to help you all out.
"There's an online site that has come up with a trick that means you never have to worry about getting caught speeding again!
"It is absolutely brilliant. Best of all, the method works internationally, in every country in the world.
"Every year hundreds get caught for driving too fast... But did you know there's a way to avoid the hefty fines that come along with speeding?"
Police presented three tips in this Facebook post. It reads…
1. Look closely at the signs on the road that show you the speed limit. The number indicated is the maximum speed you can travel. Whether you're on foot, bike or car.
2. Try to locate your car's speedometer. You normally find it somewhere in front of the driver's seat, on the dashboard. It has an arrow pointing to the number that reflects the car's speed. On newer cars, the speed is sometimes displayed digitally, with numbers.
3. This last point is also the hardest. Adjust your speed according to the number shown on the road sign. The police cannot fine you if you do not drive over this number.
"Strangely, there seem to be surprised too few who are aware of this simple yet genius trick. And best of all, if you stick to it, you'll never have to pay a speeding fine ever again."
The post has gone viral all over the world. Over 300 people commented on the post. Not all of them were happy though. Ken Dunkley commented, “Stop banging on about speeding. What percentage of accidents can truly be accounted to speed alone without other factors in play ( alcohol - drugs - dangerous vehicle). Stop this ridiculous 4kmph tolerance BS .”
Most of the readers took the post in good humor and appreciated the efforts to make people aware.
