[QUOTE="black 10th vert, post: 11009735, member: 65729"] I totally agree. It's always easy for any of us sitting behind a computer screen to say "I would have said this", or "I would have just floored it", but the truth is that this can be a very serious infraction depending on the state you live in, and let's face it NOBODY wants their car taken, and impounded, or to go to jail, so you will feel out the situation at that moment, and hopefully make the correct statements. I believe that being honest is the right thing to do, but never with regard to giving an exact number as you did, because the statement that police read to you when you are being arrested is absolutely true! ANYTHING YOU SAY, CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW - period! Always be polite, but never volunteer any more info than you absolutely have to because it will always be used against you. It is part of their job to take careful notes of everything that was said during questioning, whether at the scene, or at the station. Most times there is audio/visual evidence to admit into evidence also these days, where in the past it was only the narrative presented, documented, and presented by the officer. Bottom line is "less is more" when it comes to giving statements, so that answer Sid gave to "do you know how fast you were going?", was completely appropriate with just saying "yes". You are not lying, but you are also not self-incriminating that way. Unfortunately for you, it is now too late to go back and change your statement, so you will just have to accept whatever consequences they deem appropriate based on your admission of guilt. [/QUOTE]
