I'm still not clear, Dave, what was the slowest speed you got down to? 28, 10, or 2?

I'm in the camp of just telling the judge what you were doing.

"No doubt the officer had a reason to suspect I was drunk, but I was just experimenting with fuel economy by seeing how slow my truck can comfortably drive in high gear, and how far it will coast. I was paying close attention to the traffic behind me. Since this happened, I have changed my mind about this method. I came today because I have a clean driving record, I think the cited law does not support the ticket, and I'd like to ask you to dismiss it. Thank you, your honor."
