The first and only time I have been caught speeding (strange really) was when I was on my P's I was just keeping up with traffic not hooning or anything. 75 in a 60 on kingsford smith drive in Brisbane (those who know it will know what its like) A ute flashed his lights at me telling me police were ahead, but because the road is so straight they caught me half a km away with a radar.
Here is a transcript.
"Hello sir, you have been pulled over for travelling over the speed limit" *shows radar showing 75.2km/hr* "Is there any reason why you were travelling at this speed"
"No"
"May I please see your liscence Sir?" *I hand it over* "I will have to issue you a speeding fine"
"Okay"
*writes out ticket and gives it to me* "If you wish to contest this fine Just follow the instructions here on the back" *points it out and makes sure I understand it* "You may go, drive safely"
"Okay, thankyou officer"
I paid the fine the same day, no hassle, no nastiness, no confrontation, no patronizing, Just $150 poorer and 3 points less.
Strange thing is I didn't really change my habits and lasted for over a year on that 1 point. Now on my opens 
I think police cop (no pun) enough flak as it is.
If you have to deal with a nasty one just remain impartial and polite.
