I've avoided 9 out of the past 10 with a simple strategy of pulling over as soon as I feel like a cop might be following be (ideally before the lights come on), turning the dome light on in my car, rolling down the window, putting my hands on the wheels and admitting that I "assume" the cop was going to pull me over "because I was probably speeding".
This is not your best strategy if:
(a) You are driving on a suspended license
(b) You or anyone in your car have anything in the car to hide
(c) You have a radar detector (just give up)
I bring this up because, for me at least, there's no skill involved in "talking my way out of a ticket". There's no magic words, and it doesn't involve charm, just a little mindfulness.
I have been pulled over 3 times and gotten 2 warnings (one written, one not) and a ticket for not having my insurance card on me (that was later dismissed). The first time I was going 75 in a 55, the second time I was going 45 in 30 and the third time I was going 65 in a 55.
The 65 in a 55 I pulled over as soon as I saw him slow down to turn around, the rest of the time I just admitted I was probably going too fast. Again, nothing special just mindfulness.
