This simple trick prevents the traffic police from ever giving you a speeding ticket again - Best Tip ever

Every year hundreds get caught in police speed controls for driving too fast — with a great many caught by automatic speed cameras.
But did you know there’s a way to avoid the hefty fines that come along with speeding?
Online site, finddetbilligt.dk, has come up with a trick that means you never have to worry about getting caught speeding again!
It is absolutely brilliant. Best of all, the method works internationally, in every country in the world.


Here’s how to cleverly avoid speeding fines
1. Look closely at the signs on the road that show you the speed limit. The number indicated is the maximum speed you can travel. Whether you’re on foot, bike or car.
2. Try to locate your car’s speedometer. You normally find it somewhere in front of the driver’s seat, on the dashboard. It has an arrow pointing to the number that reflects the car’s speed. On newer cars, the speed is sometimes displayed digitally, with numbers.


3. This last point is also the hardest. Adjust your speed according to the number shown on the road sign. The police can not fine you if you do not drive over this number.
Strangely, there seem to be surprisingly too few who are aware of this simple yet genius trick. And best of all, if you stick to it, you’ll never have to pay a speeding fine ever again. Even better — the road will become much safer for everyone!

40 GREAT RADIO PROMOTIONS - Useful Professional Tips

40 GREAT RADIO PROMOTIONS




Radio is nothing without promotions. If you want drive revenue, create buzz and increase awareness, you simply can’t go past contests, promos and stunts.
The best thing about promotions is that a cleverly thought out idea doesn’t necessarily have to cost much, so it’s a perfect way for small stations on a budget to make a splash amongst its listeners, solidifying its brand identity.
The key to an effective radio promotion it to strike the balance between catering to your listeners interest and the people taking part in the promotion, it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of your contestants, but always ask yourself ‘does this make good radio? How is this coming across to our listeners?
Great promotions experience a life far beyond just one station. Other stations in countries all over the world will pick up and adapt an idea to suit, some promotions have even been taken across to other media like television and used effectively.
Australasian radio has always been at the top of the game in innovative, exciting radio promotion. The following is a list of 40 of the best, internationally renowned promos to come out of the Antipodes for FM radio.
  • The Birthday Wheel. Sweet and simple, this easy to run promo consists of drawing a birthdate and inviting any listener with the matching birthdate to call in, the first one in wins the nominated prize. This is great as a daily contest and can be easily changed to fit any set of criteria required.
  • Who’s the Voice? Use your editing software to mash two singers voices or songs together and get your listeners to guess who they are for a cash prize.
  • A risky promo from BP&R, this consisted of a toss of the coin deciding on great gain or true loss, ie: winning a new car or having your current one crushed. This made truly gripping radio but could be equally as effective scaled back a bit.
  • Live in it to win it. Entrants had to stay in the car as long as possible; the last one left won the car. Similar to contests where contestants have to keep their hand on the car or kiss the car.
  • Millionaire in Mexico. One lucky listener scored a million pesos and a free trip to Mexico.
  • Pot of Shite. A talent show for the talentless. Listeners loved hearing people make idiots of themselves in this Gong Show style segment, the worse they were the better.

  • The Fugitive. A cryptic hunt for a person with a large cash prize, the winner is the first to crack the clues and locate the person.
  • Wedding Unplanners. The anti-wedding nightmare, this promo eroded the contestants dream wedding day by day. Hilarious and original.
  • Shoot the celebrity in the arse. A distinctly Aussie flavoured event where listeners could visit and literally shoot a famous person in the bum.
  • The triple that plays. Hear a specific three song combo and ring in to win cash.
  • Billboard of Cash. A lucrative contest where the entrant simply has to guess the dollar amount on the billboard in order to win it.
  • Beat the Bomb. Stop the bomb before it randomly blows, but time it right as the dollar prize value increases as the bomb ticks.
  • Not as racy as it sounds, the aim is to guess the sex of the next phone caller, get three in a row correct and win a cash prize.
  • Two strangers and a wedding. This very famous and highly criticised promo had two complete strangers marry a first sight. The strangers were picked by listeners who followed them through the whole saga.
  • Wrong Words. Remixing and recording popular songs as completely different genres or even poetry.
  • Million Dollar Head in the Sand. A day promo where listeners had to dig on the beach for a million dollar prize.
  • Gotcha Calls. A prank phone call segment which was famously cancelled after the tragic outcome of a gotcha prank at the King Edward VII hospital in 2012.
  • The Lie Detector. Another promo that came to an abrupt end after a serious incident, this segment consisted of contestants being hooked up to a lie detector and being asked a series of personal questions.
  • The Last Contest. An ultimate prize draw of amazing, not to be repeated extravagant prizes which created a huge amount of buzz.
  • Cash Call. An oldie but a goody. So successful it has now been used by TV morning shows.
  • Love Online. Started in the 90’s this was a promo run on the online dating model.
  • Pay Your Bills. A lucky listener gets their utility bills paid off.
  • The Celebrity Party. The station hosted an exclusive event with lots of celebrities; listeners could only attend by winning a ticket to the party.
  • Fifteen seconds of fame. The listener gets to showcase their talent for a brief period.
  • Caravan of Courage. A Hamish and Andy classic, a yearly road trip full of activity and fun for the listener to follow along with.
  • Radio Gladiators. Entrants could call in and talk about the days chosen topic, the caller with the best speech took home the prize.
  • Pop Quiz. Answer 10 questions about pop culture correctly in under a minute to win.
  • The Ultimate Ear Test. A very short audio snippet is played and if the caller can correctly pinpoint the original sound, then they win the prize.
  • The Million Dollar Cash Drop. Entrants made an exhilarating skydive onto a ground grid with the chance that their square contained the million dollar prize.
  • The $100,000 Wheelie Bin of Fortune. A wheelie bin filled with money was up for grabs, as long as the listener could guess what piece of junk was under the cash with just a few clues.
This is just of the few memorable, original or controversial promotions hosted on the air in Australasia in recent history. We are looking forward to seeing more innovative programming in the years to come.

Most Useful Life Hacks

  • If your cab driver asks if you're from around here, say yes. They hike up the price, and take routes that are out of the way, for out-of-towners.
  • Throw your shirt in the dryer for 15 minutes with a few ice cubes to get rid of wrinkles.
  • Chew the same flavor of gum while you are studying, and while you're being tested to aid your memory.
  • Use a Ketchup bottle as a batter dispenser next time you make pancakes. Not only can you control the size better, it's also an easy cleanup.
  • If you bought something on Amazon, and the price is reduced within 30 days, email them and they will credit you the difference!
  • Rubbing a lime on your forehead will cure your headache (...or it will help, at least.)
  • Before your next trip to the zoo, look up the color of the zoo keepers uniforms. The animals are more familiar with these people and will be much friendlier to you.
  • Embarrassed about buying something? Buy a birthday card with it.
  • A trip to Walmart is an instant self esteem boost.
  • Plug what ingredients you have in your house into www.SuperCook.com and they will give you a list a recipes you can make with them.
  • If a gas pump handle is broken, place your gas cap in the handle for hands free pumping.
  • A handicapped parking spot needs a sign to be valid. If it just has a wheelchair painted on the ground.
  • Use a garbage bag in place of a garment bag to move clothing on the hanger.
  • Running low on battery? Put your phone on Airplane mode and it will charge up faster.
  • Wrap a rubber band around a paint can to get the excess paint off the brush.
  • Fold your receipt around the gift card to always know the balance.
  • You can separate egg yolks from egg whites with a water bottle.
  • To download a YouTube video, just add 'ss' to the URL between www. and YouTube.
  • Use a spring from an old pen to keep your charger from bending and fraying.
  • Having a hard time opening that jar lid? Use duct tape and pull to the left.
  • If a disk is skipping, rub a peeled banana over it to seal the scratches.
  • Include an embarrassing detail in a lie you're trying to tell. No one would doubt something that makes you look silly.
  • If you are ever trapped in your car underwater, use the headrest to break the wind shield.
  • Slowly tilt your head from side to side to rid yourself of car sickness.
  • The length of a yellow light is 10% of the speed limit, AKA, if the limit is 40 MPH, you have 4 seconds once the green light turns yellow.
  • Use chapstick on paper cuts (after you clean it).
  • When ordering ice coffee, order your ice in a separate cup. You'll get more coffee for your dollar.
  • If you say the wrong thing on a voicemail, press the # button to erase it and re-record your message.
  • Save the envelopes from your parking tickets. Next time you're in a non-parking zone slip the envelope under your wiper. This one isn't 100% fool proof, but it might discourage them from checking your plate!
  • Flip a coin next time you have to make a hard decision. It won't tell you what to choose, but it will tell you if you're disappointed in the outcome, revealing what you really want.
