Smiling about my ticket

So today I got a ticket for doing 11 miles over the speed limit and when the officer finished writing it out he asked something like "you don't look upset about the ticket? It looks like you have a pretty clean record". My reply "yes I was speeding, I'm just glad I had slowed down when you saw me because I was going MUCH faster than that."

I didn't tell him but I had just overtaken another SS and a Mustang GT that were going at it, and had just dropped out of the triple digits about 1 minute before. So yeah, I took the ticket with a smile on my face. I'll give the ticket to an attorney and keep my record clean or may just take the on-line defensive driving course and have it removed. Either way, it will cost me about $100. Could have been worse.
