I don't get pulled over often, but the last time that I got pulled over I told the officer that I believed I was going the speed limit. It's a subtle distinction, but it seemed to work as he had no other reason to pull me over and didn't write me a ticket.

The last time I tried that the officer angrily barked back at me, "GIVE ME A NUMBER." So YMMV, I guess.

What if you really are doing 35 and tell the officer "I was doing 35"? Surely that's perfectly fine right?
