Speeding and thinking

I wouldn't know if this is a natural reaction or not, but if you're driving a car and you get caught speeding with a big flashy speed camera:
  • either you sit completely still, keeping your head straight (thinking that if you don't see them, you don't get a ticket), and you slow down to WAAAY below the speed limit (thinking if you compensate enough, the average speed is going down)
  • or you get pissed, flipping the cops off (thinking you can scare the police from giving you a ticket)
  • or you floor the pedal, thinking, "hell, I'm caught anyway, can't get any worse, can it?"
And all the while, none of these points is going to prevent a nice ticket arriving in your mailbox. Even better, you just might get to see a motor riding police officer moving up beside you, and waving you down. Arrr....

So... what did you do? Or is this some ranting about possible future (re)actions?

I'm familiar with reaction number 3... :)
