It depends on the situation. Never admit you knew you were speeding and never admit anything is wrong with your vehicle.
People tend to drive fast if they just came off the freeway. So, if you just came off the freeway you could say you just came off the freeway and did not know you were driving so fast.
People tend to drive fast in newer cars because the ride is so smooth. So, if you have two cars and are driving the smoother riding one you could say you have two cars you drive and were used to driving the other car and you did not realize how fast you were going.
Sometimes people drive fast to get away from drunk or dangerous drivers. So, if you were driving fast to avoid an accident with a possibly dangerous driver you could say that. Sometimes I wish an officer would pull me over so I could point to the car that IS driving unsafely.
But the best thing is never give an officer a reason to ask you why were speeding: DRIVE THE SPEEDLIMIT IN THE FIRST PLACE!

In high school they had just repaved a direct road through town. My bro was pulled over for speeding on it as he and I always did. He told the ociffer he was just testing the new pavement and got a warning instead of a ticket

police officer's have heard every excuse in the book. if you are a concerened and careful driver and obey the rules of the road, you don't have to worry about speeding.

There is none. Stay within the driving speed limit for your safety and those around you. Make sure to thank him for stopping you before you hurt yourself or others. The officer is just doing his duty.

tell him you are late for work.
He will ask you what you do.
Tell him you are a rectum stretcher , and you job consists of , starting with two fingers , moving upto the whole hand , stretching the rectum untill it is about six foot.
He will ask you "now , what the hell would you do with a 6ft @ss hole"?
and you tell him ," put it in a uniform and station it under a bridge with a radar gun".
You won't get of the speeding ticket , but the look on his face will be priceless.

I think the best excuse is to admit you are wrong--but admit it with humility and disbelief at your own ineptitude for breaking the law. A little humility can go a long way . . .

"Yes officer I was speeding." I was all ways more forgiving when they told the truth! A cop knows when your not on the level and they have heard it all.

Don't hedge, just be polite and cooperative and tell him you didn't realize you were speeding but that you will pay more attention and you apologize. Be humble. this won't help if your way over the speed limit.

That the woman in the vehicle with you is pregnant and about to deliver, of course. No cop will ever give you a ticket for that one. Of course, you do have to have a lady in the vehicle who looks pregnant for that to work....

This worked for my friend once. He had a new car and said that he just broke in his engine and was testing it out.

Tell him that you were trying to keep up with traffic...if he informs you that there was no other traffic around, then tell him 'I KNOW, THAT'S HOW FAR AHEAD OF ME THEY WERE!!!'.
