Respect, and owning your screw-up. Good choice, and earns respect back even if you DO get the fine. Backtalk and attitude - you earn the fine and the enmity of a cop who knows what you drive!
I got pulled over in an old subaru one time over 80 in a 55, he asked me if I knew how fast I was going I just said the truth "Yeah, I couldn't believe this old thing would go that fast, but I slowed down when I saw how fast I was going sir, you saw me slowing down before your lights came on. Sorry!"
He chuckled, and let me go with no warning even except a verbal "well, you keep this speed demon under control" after he checked my license & insurance.
You woulda had to see this subaru... it was the ultimate in beat up beaters, used only when the real car was broke.
