How To Avoid An Attack Or Speeding Ticket
A backward facing cap with open body language means ticket all day long.
If you wish to avoid an attack, quickly avert your eyes, pull your head and chin down and draw your
shoulders and body inward to make it appear smaller. Submissive postures, like this one, switches off
the aggressive attack response in other people. A large part of what provides motivation for those in
power, is the power itself and it has been said that those in positions of power want nothing else but
more power. So to avoid an attack all we need to do is give them that power, ideally it is in the form of
less physical methods. Taking up a submissive posture and admitting guilt is usually enough of a payoff
to avoid a speeding ticket at best, or at worst, lessening the amount of punishment that will be received.
If asked to step out of the vehicle, keep slouched so as to never reach your full height and don’t
completely avoid eye contact, but don’t stare either. Keep reserved, hold your arms and hands across
your mid section or in your pockets, but never cross your arms in effort to confront.
