Did you know that if you get pulled over by the police for something being broken on your car (e.g. cracked bumper, broken or burnt out lights, etc.) you can get out of the ticket if the cop car shares a similar problem? This was tested successfully in the state of Illinois, it may work in your state also.

Have your spouse drive the car registered in your name and you drive their car. If a traffic camera takes a picture of a man driving a car registered in a woman's name (or vice versa), they send a "nomination" instead of a ticket. (Question: How does one tell the difference? Answer: Tickets have the court's phone number and address whereas nominations say "do not contact the court"). In short, nominations ask you to snitch on the driver captured in the photo. However, since you are not obligated to do so you can ignore it and nothing will happen (i.e. you will not have to pay the fine).
I did this, it works, I have the "nomination" to prove it! To read more check out www.highwayrobbery.net!

If you live in a major city (sometimes non-major), go to
www.wildaboutmovies.com and check for upcoming screenings. Once you find one, print out a pass that admits two and arrive at least an hour early. Enjoy the Show!

In most states and Washington, DC, you can delay the court date if you get a speeding ticket, or most other tickets. The longer you postpone it for, the less likely the officer is to show up, usually due to scheduling issues - and if the officer doesn't show up, you win. Therefore, delay your court dates as much as possible.
Chances are you and your friends can't pull off buying childrens tickets at the movie theater ticket window. However, if you purchase your tickets ahead of time using Fandango.com, you can buy any type of ticket you want. Nine times out of ten, the person ripping the tickets isn't paying attention and you can walk straight through (note: this usually works best if you buy at least one adult ticket and have the childrens tickets underneath). Now that you saved a few bucks, you can buy some over-priced movie theater food.
Before booking a flight that is operated by two airlines, make sure to check the ticket price with each company prior to purchasing. Each airline is "free" to set their own price, and most of the time one of the airlines will be offering the same ticket for a lower price.
A few weeks ago I purchased a ticket from New York, NY to Charleston, SC. The same flight (operated by Northwest Airlines) was listed on both Continental and Northwest, but it was much cheaper to buy through Continental's website.
You can increase your chance of getting a good price on your next flight if you book at the right time. Airlines release their new fares to a central clearinghouse (Airline Tariff Publishing Company) at predetermined times throughout the week. On weekdays, the best times to look for new fares are just after 2:00p.m., 4:30p.m. and midnight (tickets reserved but never paid for usually appear just after midnight). On weekends, fares are only updated once a day, usually around 5:00p.m.
Use your frequent flyer miles to fly to three cities for the price of two. Ask for a multi-destination ticket instead of a round-trip ticket. You can fly from Houston to New York City to Philadelphia and back to Houston all for 25,000 rewards points / miles. Generally, it is easier to reserve these flights by calling the airline directly; however, certain airlines let you do this online as well. Safe Travels!
Hidden city fares can be the worst. Let's say you live on the west coast and you want to visit your friend in New York over Labor Day weekend. The cheapest direct flight you can find is $643 + taxes. Don't pay that outrageous fare, instead call up the airline and ask to travel to a nearby city with a connection in NY. Once you land in NY, simply get off the plane and don't fly the next leg. You can't check your luggage for this to work. (Note: the remaining part of your ticket will be canceled once the airline detects an unflown flight, so plan accordingly).
Hints to keep from getting noticed: Use two different airlines when possible (not partner airlines), purchase your tickets directly from the airlines website or through another online travel site, avoid using your frequent flyer number if flying the same/partner airlines (this is how they track you), alternate between your first and middle name and use different contact phone numbers (cell, work, home).

Parking ticket will fight for your parking ticket for you - and you pay them only if it is reduced or removed. Why go to court yourself when they will for you?

If you need to go to the same city twice within 30 days but you aren't staying over a Saturday night, tickets can get very expensive. Let's assume you have a business meeting in NYC on Tuesday and you need to fly home that Thursday. Then in two weeks you have a conference in NYC Monday-Friday. Buy one ticket from your home city to NY and a second ticket from NY back to your home city -- each with Saturday night stays. As you fly, simply alternate between tickets; be careful this is technically against most airline policies for some reason.

Instead of buying one expensive round trip ticket, buy two cheaper tickets and use half of each. That's right, throw away the other half of each ticket. A round trip ticket from New York to San Francisco without a Saturday night stay was $685 last week; instead of paying that much stagger two round trip tickets each with Saturday night stays and pay $275 per ticket. Fly there on one, throw away the return and fly back on the other ticket. You just saved $135 = $685 - (2*$275).
