Actually, I would think 2 things:

1) I deserve the ticket, and therefore, would have no problem paying it.

and (if I was in PA at the time)

2) I would think that, if the officer was following the rules, and ticketed me for "speeding" 1 mph over the limit, except in a construction zone or school zone, that he wasn't following the rules, since even at 65, the law specifies in PA what minimum amount you must be going over the limit for officers to give you a ticket, and at a minimum, I believe, it is 3 mph at that speed (larger margin at lower speeds).

But, as I said, in #1 - I was breaking the rules, and would pay the ticket because I did so. And no, I'm not making this up - this is how I would deal with it (and did so, for the one ticket I have received in my driving career).
