But what's the worst that could happen? Let's say you're not drunk, you don't have anything illegal in your car, and the speed is nothing too bad. You were just speeding. Can anything you say result in anything worse than a ticket and a fine?
- tempestn 12y agoI was just using speeding as an example of an interaction that most of us have probably had at some point. No, you probably won't end up with anything worse than a fine. But just like with more serious matters, you might be getting yourself in trouble unnecessarily. Sometimes police will stop someone they believe to have been speeding, without any evidence to that fact. (They saw you zip by, but don't have you on radar, and didn't get a chance to pace you, for instance.) If you say, "Yes, sorry I was speeding," or, "I thought I was only about 5 over," or whatever, now they can ticket you.
