Getting a ticket really depends on the officers mood, but in answering questions you should never confirm anything...period.

ie Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?

Driver option 1: No Sir. (Wrong answer and now you will have to accept HIS speed)
Driver option 2: Yes, i was speeding a bit (Wrong answer, you just admitted guilt)

Best response: I was driving safely for the conditions. (Confirm NOTHING, be vague, but polite) (The purpose of speed laws is safety so it may resonate with the judge when you respond that way)

You may still get a ticket but you will not be at the officers mercy in front of the judge and will have room to negotiate 10% on the cars indicated speed(Allowable error) plus the radars error. (IE Officers radar/laser may be out of calibration)(Get the police vehicles calibration record for that day, if not done then you can make the judge aware that the detector instrument was in error)

Also be aware that the Boxsters indicated speed is always 3-4mph higher than your true speed. They are built that way on purpose by Porsche.
