I think the officers asking where you are going, could be the officer giving the driver a chance to mitigate his speeding.
"Officer I'm running late for my dialysis."

Of course he could also just be fishing. To be honest I find such inobtrusive. Its when they start asking me about Why I have a radio, or what kind of work I do that I get annoyed and clam up. Being polite and respectful increases your chances of escaping the revenue enhancement process.

At least here in Texas we are not required to show an ID._At least if not driving or or packing. That being said I would cooperate unless the officer was being obtuse, rude or otherwise fishing. That being said I believe that we are required to give the officer Identifying information if asked. Most times if one is being interviewed for calling in a complaint or as a witness the officer will ask for an ID. It is just easier for him to copy the information.

I had one cop once insisted that I tell him my social security number. I politely told him no, that I had the right to withhold that info. Eventually he gave up. I received no ticket
