I agree, dont lie to the cop. They know when your lying and it only makes things worse. I've been pulled over about 6 times for speeding and I only have 1 ticket. I was doin 60mpg in a 35 in my 1970 Mustang Mach 1, there was no getting out of that one. But, I was polite to the cop so he only wrote me up for 5 over (thank God). I always seem to have better luck with State cops rather then City Police.
Hints I can give you:
1) If you see a cop and your speeding DO NOT slam on your breaks. That just tells the cop you knew you were speeding. Pull your emerengcy break or downshift(automatic trans only), that way he doesnt see your break lights go on.
2) Know the speed traps. Cops usually have certain parts of the road that they watch. Keep your eyes open and remember where they sit. Also, if you get pulled over somewhere, dont speed there anymore!
3) If you fly past a cop in heavy traffic and there's a side road, USE IT! I couldent tell you how many time's Ive avoided getting a ticket by swerving down a side road and speeding away as fast as I could. Use your head though, if the cop obviously see's you turning, dont run I'll only make things worse.
4) Cruise Control is your friend.
