So that you will either:
Admit to speeding. As in, "Oh probably 60 or 65" where the posted speed limit is 55mph. You've just confessed to speeding and will most probably lose if you try to fight the ticket in court.
or:
Admit to inattentiveness. As in, "No officer, I have no idea how fast I was going."
It is a loaded question that will not help you by answering in either fashion, but those are the responses the police get the vast majority of the time. A much better answer would be, "Officer, I do not wish to answer that question. Thank you"
