The classic "No, but I thought for sure that you would, Officer" might be
worth a try if you're really desperate. I actually made a cop laugh with
that remark (as if he hadn't heard it before!) and he ended up writing me
for 94 in a 65 instead of 96 ... at the time, 30-over the limit got you a
trip to the local magistrate, so I was more than happy to pay the fine by
mail!
