My approach to getting pulled over is to remain quiet and matter of fact, and make no excuses.

My thinking is that these guys have heard every excuse in the book and don't feel like hearing it again. When they ask "do you know why you were pulled over" I say, "I think I have a pretty good idea". I don't bat the proverbial eyelash because of the integrity thing but also that they would certainly see through it and not fall for it and/or get angry for trying to do so. As it is their job to be stern, they are pretty curt, pissy, and with attitude when they approach the car so why aggravate it. However, my result is that they give me a warning, I thank them as I take back my license and reg, and drive off.
I don't actually bat my eyelashes or anything else, like show clevage. I do exactly what you are saying. But I think that playing into the male power thing, telling them they are right and how sorry I am, is using my feminine whiles. Also, I'm not a showboat by any means, but I have a clean cut girl next door kind of look that doesn't hurt.

I have a lot of pride and I would never do anything to degrade myself. Hey, I don't even even wear make-up. So it's not a being made up and showing things off issue. It's how I communicate with the officer.

DH on the other hand, always argues and gets defensive and he always get a ticket.
