The only good answer is “to my knowledge I was driving within the limit”.
If you say “yes” and were speeding you’ve just admitted you knew you were speeding, if you say “no” you’ve just admitted you weren’t keeping track of your speed.
Answering this question makes it easy for the cop to write it in his report that you admitted guilt.
I know someone who said he has no idea what his speed was. When the cop was pressing harder and harder to get him to accept he asked “do you have a calibrated speed gun in your car”. The cop admitted he didn’t and the guy said “this conversation is over then”, and the cop let him drive off.
Someone else posted these recently. Always a good reminder:
They get posted in nearly every one of these discussions.
As they should!
I felt like I was being a giant asshole but I got off the same way. Cop was trying to make me admit to driving fast. I said I wasn’t and asked what they clocked me at. They said they didn’t get me with the radar gun. I said “ok,” and just stared at her.
No, it is definitely the driver’s job to keep an eye on how fast they’re going.
Why
Am I the only person around here who uses cruise control? Like all the time. Set it for 5 over, and I’m good. With adaptive cruise control, it will even slow you down when the guy in front is going slower.
