This sort of thing can work for you.

Policeman: "Do you know what you did just then?"
Me: "Yes, officer, I'm sorry..."
Policeman: "License..."
I hand over Australian license. I see the "brain freeze" response as
the police officer thinks about putting some random foreign junk on his form.
Policeman: "... thank you, please drive more carefully in the future."
Officer drives off, I get no ticket...
