i've been pulled over a dozen times for speeding (most on I40)recieved two tickets and ten warnings. the two tickets i was doing 80 in a 55 (it was 65 outside of town) they wrote me up for 72 each time. can't be a coincidence. went to class to get tickets erased the stories the others told and problems people create by being rude or doing 70 in a 25 school zone construction zone. i was the only one who got the speed reduced. a bunch ended up with other offenses. the other 10 i was doing 65 in 55. Had the cruise set each time. What's my secret ... pullover immediately, put flashers on, turn off motor, leave hands on the wheel until he tells you otherwise, give the officer room to stand safely next to your vehicle, be polite, have your license, insurance, and registration, admit that you were speeding, and say sorry. the last couple warnings I've even asked the officer if he was sure. worked for me. oh and i'm a guy.
Your technique usually works, and it's good advice, except possibly admitting to the offense. Lawyers will always say you shouldn't do that, especially if there's a chance you might fight the ticket later. Every time a cop pulls someone over, he has to be thinking the guy might have a gun and is ready to shoot. Anything you can do to put the cop at ease will help you. Arguing or badmouthing the cop is the stupidest thing you could possibly do. We had a situation around here where Cheney was in town for a fundraiser, and the cops closed one particular road for security reasons. Some old guy couldn't get home, so he started shouting and cursing at the cop, the cop ordered him out of his vehicle, and he refused. He ended up getting tasered and arrested. As far as getting a ticket or not, it all depends on whether the cop has his quota filled for the month. If he really needs that ticket, all the sweet talk in the world won't help you.
