Spacedog is 100% correct. Cops appreciate this. You will not appear suspicious, they will understand what you are doing - and why.
I used to speed all the time (I don't any more) - and was pulled over about 10-15 times for speeding and only got a ticket for it once.
The trick is to:
1) Do like spacedog says - pull over - turn on your light if it is night - keep your hands on the wheel - make no sudden movements and tell them what you are doing.
2) In MD at least - do NOT give them your registration. In MD - they must right up a SEPERATE TICKET for each offense. They can easily look up your registration. Apologize for not having it (I am so sorry - I used it to call for insurance rates and totally forgot to put it back).
3) Cops are people too - they deal with assholes all day. You have been nice, respectful, and whatnot - most times they will cut you a break by:
WRITING A TICKET, but only for not having the registration. In MD - this used to be $15 and no points (not sure if it still is).
Worse case - he or she will write a ticket for both. Most of the time they will write you one for the registration only, if you are not a jerk and don't make excuses.
The 10 miles over the speed limit thing - yes they can write you a ticket, but most won't as in MD - most of the time if you go to court - they will reduce it one level (to zero) in this case. Why give a person a ticket for one point - when you can find dozens of people speeding over 10 miles and give them a ticket for 2 points.
