"I know I was speeding, officer. But before you decide to write me the ticket, please know that I will be graduating from law school this year, and have already decided to take a job at the DA's office. I'll be working hand in hand with you guys and support your cause. I'd appreciate it if you could help me out here, just like I will be doing for you guys once I start working at the DA's office."

Actually, this doesn't have anything to do with an S4, but I had a lucky experience on the I90 in NY... I was doing a meager 85-90ish in a 65 and a NYS Trooper had nailed me with a Laser..., I had a couple of seconds to think about what to do because he was in the median and would have to get upto speed, but up the road about 3/4 of a mile or so there was a rest stop, I didn't slow down at all when I acknowledged the cop was behind me, he hadn't turned his lights on yet, but I knew he was after me because of the radar detector.. so I ended up turning off and he followed me. Luckily I had a smart girlfriend to get up and run out of the car in front of the cop. He approached the car and had asked what was wrong with her... I told him that she was just having her period and needed to get to a rest stop immediately, so I ended up speeding a little bit because there would have been a messy accident... needless to say I walked(drove) away with just a warning

I had my S4 for about three days when I was stopped on Rt.3 in NH on my way to work in MA. (Didn't have my V1 yet) I was doing somewhere in the mid 80s , about to shift into sixth when I realized that I had just become part of a nutritious breakfast (TOAST!).
She, the Trooper, was absolutely ALL BUSINESS. Zero opportunity to be charming here. Fortunately I still had my temporary registration. So, I handed it over with my license and was asked "...and the reason for your speed, sir?". I sheepishly responded "...um, I just got the car and I guess I'm not used to it yet.". She turned and walked away. This did not bode well.
She comes back and gives me the "rush hour, keeping up with traffic" lecture. So I, and the Cherokee I was dancing with (yeah, that's right - you heard me) were on our way. Just a verbal warning.
Not a really exciting story, but I always have a great time telling it.

Actually all they had to do was look at my name. Fortunately my Dad, Step Mom, and even two uncles are all Seargents/Lieutenants in the Utah Highway Patrol, so I would usually get out of a ticket pretty easy. The officer would usually call one of my relatives and ask if they should give me a ticket. The officer was always told "Do what you think you need to do", but it never resulted in a ticket. Now that I live in Virginia, I don't have that protection and I got my first ticket the second day I bought my '97 A4!

When I was 17 I had an outrageous '70 Camaro with a very strong (600+ HP) 454. I pulled out of a popular cruising spot, and being the punk kid that I obviously was, left 3 gears of fresh hot rubber ... right in front of a cop that I had been too busy speeding to see. He pulled me over like "I really can't believe you just did that in front of me". My mouth was going much faster than my brain at that point, I came out with "I'm sorry sir, but I just got this car, and I'm not use to all the power and using the clutch".
Yes, he let me go.

The cop might also have assumed that she was running to the ladies room to flush drugs down the toilet, and you might have spent the next half hour watching your S4 get thoroughly searched.

Oh absolutely, it was circumstances that I am sure that would be almost 100% impossible to replicate with success. I wouldn't recommend anyone trying this technique
Just thought I would share it
