I got this in my e-mail this morning.  It sounds logical.
     
     How to avoid getting points on your driving record!

     I tried to pass this on to anyone I could think of.  I know for a fact 
     that this works, so if you ever get in this situation, you have an 
     out. This procedure works in any state. Read it and try it, you have 
     nothing to loose but the points in your license.
     
     If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever 
     the case may be, and you are going to get points on your license, then 
     there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points.  
     
     When you get your fine, send in the check to pay for it.  If the fine 
     is $79, for example, then make the check out for $82 or some small 
     amount above the fine. The system will then have to send you back a 
     check for the difference, but here is the trick! ---DO NOT CASH THE 
     CHECK!!  Throw it away!  Points are not assessed to your license until 
     all the financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the 
     check, then the transactions are not complete. However the system has 
     gotten its money so it is happy and will not bother you any more.
