I was a contractor for Canada Post a few years ago and was on my way to one of my Northernly stops. My van was in the shop for a couple of days, so I had a loaner. After a while of going a consistent 15 km over the speedlimit, I was pulled over by a cop and given a ticket. I told him I was on cruise at 5 over, but he would have none of it as he clocked me at 22 km over. It would have been my first speeding ticket, so I was a little pissed, but was admittedly going too fast, so was just gonna eat it.

The next day, I altered my route a bit because of my stops that day. Well, about 25 km's away from where I was pulled over the day before, I was doing the same 15 km's over the speed limit. Well, who should pull me over, but the SAME cop. He looked at me and I looked at him and laughed and said, "Okay, there's NO way this time. It was LOCKED at 105."

He smiled and could see that I was telling the "Truth" so he let me go and told me to have the speedometer checked.

I paid the guy who's vehicle it was the $50 or whatever to have it tested and sure enough it was out 7 whole km. So, I took that piece of paper to the magistrate and informed her of the whole situation and she tore up the ticket-even though with the 7 km deducted, I was still 15 km over the limit. Saved me a couple hundred dollars and a couple license points, so it was well worth it.
