I believe the best defense against a speeding ticket is to point out that according to Einstein the speed of an object is relative, and considering the speed of the earth around the sun, the rotational speed of the earth around its own axis, and the speed of the sun hurtling along in our remote arm of the milky way, we are probably all speeding, and the doppler shift alone could cause any red light to appear green if viewed from an arbitary perspective. Also, bring a cat but don't explain why.

I remember Top Gear (British car show) did a test to see if it was possible to "outrun" a speed camera by going fast enough to avoid being photographed.

Edit - Found it on YouTube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ph-qv4gYAE8

So all you have to do is drive a car capable of going 170 mph.
