How to Get Out of a Speeding Ticket Without Fighting It

Stop a cop from giving you a ticket, without arguing, fighting, or going to court.
Steps

Assure the cop that he is not in danger. Do this by taking out your licence and registration, place one in either hand, in between the fingers, and place your hands on the steering wheel at 2 and 10.
Roll down your window, staying in the car, and wait for the cop to come to you.
Fake remorse without guilt. This is the most essential part. By doing this, you show the cop that you are sorry, but that you have no clue what you did, in an innocent way. For example: "Oh officer, I must have done something really stupid...". Please remember that if you can't act, just look depressed and disappointed with yourself.
Agree with all he or she has to say and look like you are expecting some terrible punishment.
If you've made it this far, and weren't doing something completely and blatantly illegal, like, say, a car chase, you should probably have a fairly considerate police officer who will, most likely, "let you off the hook this time." Thank him or her profusely, and drive away safely.

Tips

Guys: Don't fight it, no matter how much better you think you are than the cop. He is in a position of authority here, and the best thing to do is lower yourself so the cop doesn't feel a need to exercise his power. Even if you are right, this method is much quicker than going to traffic court.
Ladies: Same as above, many of you out there are used to being right 24/7. Show one tiny bit of indignation or entitlement and you will have a cop more than willing to give you a ticket. Also, if you can, try to cry, not at the cop or you getting a ticket, but how frustrated and angry you are at yourself.
