"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Go directly to the court house with the paper in hand.

Pay cash and ask them if "this is going on record".

I went 140 and rolled a truck over in a 40 zone. I got a fine for driving over the speed limit but nothing went on record.

What Spider said could be true, but if you just pay the fine and not argue against it nothing should go onto your record.

Call the agency that wrote you the ticket and inquire about a driving class.

I think if you go to a drivers safety course your insurance will not be notified.

Purchase money order's to make payments for the course.

But, most importantly, SLOW DOWN. There are children walking and riding their bikes home from school. A 30 mph area is pretty congested and a ticket could be the least of your problems if you do not learn to drive safer.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

In canada a school zone is 30kmph... less than 20mph(School zone?)

30mph is nearly 50kmph thats like the top speed limit of the entire town I live in.

I went 101 in a 60 and ended up with a ticket for $350 and 4 points. The insurence would have been up to the roof. Instead i paid a lawyer $1200 and he nagotiated it down to $60 speeding ticket (no points). I don't think insurence even knows about it yat.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Go to court.

I'm not a lawyer. So...

If they ask you if you are "guilty"...say "Yes, your honor. However, Sir, if possible, I would like to ask if I can take the class (traffic class, etc.)".

Many times when they give those classes (they cost about $40 or so)...you only have to pay the court for the appointment (about $50). So, instead of paying $200+...you might end up paying $90. And they might not put that in your driving record.

Another thing...in many states, going 20 miles over the speed limit is Reckless Driving and a MANDATORY court visit.

Of course, you have to find out if your county/state/etc. gives those classes and similar rules.

60 in a 30 is way too fast bro. Thats 30mph over...in some jurisdictions they might regard that as reckless driving.

When you get a traffic ticket, most people go to court, admit guilt, and the magistrate will drop the points if you pay the fine.

Your case might be a little different because most people who show up in court were going 10-15mph over the speed limit. If you can afford it, I would have a traffic lawyer represent you. If not, do what others have said, admit guilt. Don't play around, tell them you were being an idiot and you learned from your mistake.

When I had my 240SX, i thought i was a harda** and used to do that crap. Then I joined Sports Car Club of America autocross competitions and realized how little I knew.

Slow down man, bottom line.

Its 40km/h for school zone here. And yeah, in suburban areas its 50km/h and it goes to 80km/h on the "highways" (outskirts of town and on connectiong roads).

I know a ton of lawyers who have speeding tickets reduced to a 50 dollar parking ticket for free. I think they do it becaue it doesn't take too much time for them and it's good promotional work for them because of the word of mouth. If I were in your situation that's what I'd do or look for, but then again it may not be the same where you are.

My room mate was doing 90 in a 60 and he just had his reduced to a parking ticket $50 dollar fine, and no, I'm not lying about any of this.

lower the court fine by calling the phone number on the back of the ticket and inquire about the class. it lowers the ticket payment and saves your insurance.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

not only does it appear on insurence but your insurence might go up (depending on the law around your state...)
Your insurance will go up, no matter what state you live in, unless you are eligible for traffic court, in which case it won't appear on your record, and your insurance premium won't go up.

Most insurance companies run your MVR (motor vehicle report) once a year, when your policy renews, so it might take the company a while to figure it out, but they will figure it out eventually. Depending on the laws of your state, they might be able to retroactively raise your rates back to when you got the ticket.

You can probably do the traffic court online. It takes about 6-8 hours, and there's no shortcuts in it - you have to put in the full time.

Here's my advice for what it's worth:

- Contest the ticket and go to court. If the officer doesn't show up (and often they don't), your ticket gets cancelled.
- If they do show up, claim that you weren't going fast and that the radar gun must have malfunctioned.
- If that doesn't work, pay the ticket.

I think the worst that can happen is that you pay what you'd have to pay anyway, and the best is that the ticket gets cancelled, but I Am Not A Lawyer.

Also, if you can go to traffic school and have it removed, that's a right I believe, not something that the judge can give you or not give you. Check into it.

Good luck!
