I was pulled over for running a stop sign, and when the cop asked if I was in a hurry, I almost explained that I frequently roll through that particular stop sign turning right because the layout of the intersection makes it safe. However, my mind had a flash of "shut up, shut up, shut up" and I just made an "uhhh" noise. (I got the ticket, didn't fight it, and stopped doing that.) While in reality admitting to a nebulous number of minor past traffic offenses won't get you tickets for them, I can't imagine it actually helps anything.
