Make every effort to know and comply with basic traffic laws.  Get a copy of the driver's license manual from your state licensing authority and review its contents.  Don't attract attention to your vehicle by having loud exhaust, windows tinted too dark, etc.

Anything that causes a police officer to look at your vehicle will make it more likely he/she will notice expired tags, expired inspection stickers, or other deficiencies.

These are just a few ways to avoid getting those dreadful traffic tickets.  This guide will give you much more information.
