Have you used it?

As an officer I'd say the best answer is the truth. I had one person tell me they were speeding because he was late for work. He went on to say that because I pulled him over he was going to be even later and would have to make up for the lost time. Honesty pays off. I gave him a warning.
On the other hand, if you lie of make an excuse, it will probably end up with you signing a ticket. I stopped a lady for running a red light and she asked if she could get a warning. I explained to her the yellow light was her warning.
On another occasion I stopped a guy for speeding and he explained that he was wearing new boots and that his feet got stuck in the pedals. When I came back with the ticket for speeding, no insurance, expired inspection sticker, and expired plates he asked "I though I was just getting a ticket for speeding?" I explained "Sorry, my pen got stuck on the ticket."
But on the humor side I have always liked when a guy was pulled over for speeding:
Officer: I need to see your License Sir!
Driver: I don't have one. I just escaped from prison. Please don't look in the trunk, the Wardens body is in there, and I have a bomb straped to my chest if you try to arrest me. You better get some help out here fast!
Officer: Calls for back up and supervisor.
Supervisor: Whats going on here?
Driver: I don't know, your Officer has been Harrassing me.
Supervisor: He says you have a bomb on you a dead body in the trunk, and no license.
Driver: Takes off his shirt to reveal no bomb, opens the trunk to reveal no body and hands the supervisor his license.
Driver: I bet he also said I was speeding.

One time, a girl told me that she was stopped for something and when the policeman walked up to the car, she "ordered" a hamburger all the way with fries and a small chocolate shake. He shook his head and walked back to his patrol car without even a warning.
She had just tried what she saw her husband do and hey, it worked for him! BUT what she didn't know, was that the cop that stopped him was a friend of his!
When told her husband he hit the ceiling. And when he told her that he knew the cop, she got the shakes, it scared her so bad!

Cops usually don't find humour in excuses, as they've heard a ton of them before. I've never had the chance to use an excuse because I don't drive much, and when I do I am cautious.

For a girl you'd probably try this. My cousin was speeding just because and she got pulled over. When the cop came up to her and asked her the question about "Why are you in such a hurry?" She smiled and said "I have my period!"

My friend was pulled over once for speeding and told the officer that she was almost out of gas and was hurrying home before she ran out.She didn't get a ticket.

Take a small bottle and put a dead bee in it. When a cop pulls you over dump the bee in the seat where he can see it. Tell him your allergic to bees and were in a frenzy trying to kill it before it had a chance to sting you and you weren't paying attention because of the life and death matter of killing the bee and show him that you've killed it in the seat.

Well, officer, the reason I was speeding is because my wife ran away last week with a police officer. I thought you were him, trying to give her back. Never used it.

just dont pull over...take him on a wild chase through the city. by the time the whole police force box you in and arrest you....that speeding ticket will be the least one picked on the da's list of crimes against you.

My fiancee used this one, not really funny, but it worked.
"She (meaning me) had adjusted the seat forward and I (him) had to move it back and I wasn't watching my speed.
He got pulled over after I told him he better slow down, not only because he was speeding but because in our state the deer take over the roads after dusk.

Once a guy said that there was a mouse crawling around on the floor and he was simply trying to stomp on it. LOL! Lame but cute!
