Actually you are far more likely to get out of a speeding ticket if you are honest. Most cops absolutely hate it when they ask if you know why they pulled you over and you give them the "I have no idea" bullshit.
I got pulled over a few months ago by a State Trooper as I was coming off I-70 and I rolled through a stop sign. I didn't see him in the empty lot off the highway, and sure enough he got behind me and pulled me over. When he asked if I knew why he pulled me over, I told him I was a moron and came to a rolling stop at the stop sign. After checking my license and insurance he gave them back without ticketing me, and just told me to mind the stop sign next time. I guarantee if I gave him the "What seems to be the problem officer?" bullshit I would've received a ticket.
Don't get me wrong, in most cases you don't have to and shouldn't talk to the cops, but for something minor like a speeding ticket honesty is definitely the best policy...
