You have done well there "grasshopper" The book also mentions that the inside of your car will also play an important roll in the officers decision. Without the clutter the officer has fewer concerns and that alone is helpful. The book is interesting as it is as much about how the officers perceive the driver, as it is about saying the right thing.
RGINN also hit the nail on the head as to his approach. Keep in mind that it is up to the officers discretion as to whether, or not, he will write a ticket. Depending on traffic conditions, time of day, etc. I will drive on average 5-10 mph above the speed.
There is one little "shore" town where this book would be a joke and that is Sea Bright, NJ. That city is barely a strip that runs along the shore and that town survives on tickets of any nature
From 1am until about 3am, you will get a police escort from one end of the town to the other. It is actually nerve racking even when you are obeying the limit because these officers will ride your tail the whole length of the road. I have literally gotten this escort 8 out of 10 times. If you sneeze you best have a tissue, or you will get a ticket for spitting
