when i get stopped, i never try to argue anything...normally...i figure they have heard it all. and when they ask questions i answer as uninterestingly as possible. i do not want to pique their interest. if they ask what my hurry it i say no particular hurry. if they ask how fast i was going i say i don't know (i don't, exactly). short concise answers. nothing that sounds like an argument. then they decide whether it will be a warning or a ticket. since i rarely ever go more than 9 over and i always keep the record clean, i usually get a warning.
thank the lord for ticket diversions.
the fines though are getting so high that alone is beginning to provide enough detriment. 185 last time! for 11 over.
