When they give you your court date say that you will be out of the country on that date and ask for a different court date. (This fucks with the officer availability).

Your court date will be 6 to 9 months after you got original ticket.

Show up for court and hope the officer doesnt show up.

This has worked for me 3 out 4 tickets, I have the trial for the 4th on the 26th so i'll let you know if I beat that one as well.

Or you could just slow down.
