0:00.0	What up, everybody? Welcome to the Smoking Tire podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by
0:04.9	Off the Record. We love Off the Record here. And you guys do too, based on the number of emails
0:10.7	you send me about Off the Record saving you from getting points on your license from a pesky
0:17.7	little moving violation. You see, if you get points on your license, you can be
0:22.6	at risk for insurance premium increases, possibly employment issues, if you have to have a clean

0:34.9	That's why off the record is here. If you get pulled over for any
0:38.2	kind of moving violation, big or small, in any state in the U.S., don't plead guilty. Get off the
0:44.8	record. They will connect you to a qualified attorney in the jurisdiction where you got pulled over,

0:56.5	and then most of the time it goes away. It's great. They get those points off your record.
1:02.4	They have an amazing track record. Go to off the record.com slash tST. That's off the record.com
1:09.6	slash tST for 10% off all legal services booked through
