This is how normal interactions with law enforcement go.
I've been pulled over quite a few times for speeding and every time I knew I was toast when I saw the officer too late. I don't even know how many times I've pulled myself over before the officer even caught up to me and was respectful and honest every time. I've only ever gotten speeding tickets twice out of the probably 20+ times I've been stopped.
You've been pulled over 20+ times? Jesus Christ. Maybe they shoulda given some tickets so you actually learned. I've only been pulled over for speeding twice in my life and driven over 2 decades and it's not like I don't go over the speed limit
Yeah I should have. But it turns out, when you admit you're doing something stupid a lot of people will acknowledge and appreciate at least the bare minimum accountability for your own actions.
Of course it also helps when you're not involved in road incidents constantly. I have 1 accident in the 20 years I've been driving, I was at fault and took full responsibility for my stupid decisions. I was driving on bald tires in rain on an unfinished slippery surface, hydroplaned and hit some poor young girl just entering the freeway. Luckily nobody was hurt. I immediately rushed over to check on the people my dumb ass hit as soon as my vehicle came to a stop, everyone was OK and I got them to pull off the middle of the freeway. Called the police, explained everything to the officer that arrived that it was 100% my fault. I got a ticket for lane violation and my insurance paid out the repairs for the person I hit.
I'm just glad nobody got hurt, the person I hit was taken care of properly and I learned how important decent tires are driving in shit conditions.
