I've never been pulled over while carrying (goes around looking for real wood to knock on), however every time I've been pulled over (6) I've had sufficient time to get my DL out of my wallet and reg out of it's hiding spot and put them on the center console where I can easily and slowly reach down in plain sight and pick them up and hand it to them. I'm not doing anything wrong so act calmly and don't give him any more information than he needs.
Giving more info that is neeed is like him coming up to you and saying, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" You have two answers, "I'm very sorry, sir, I don't know what I was doing that would induce you to pull me over." or "Yes sir, I was speeding." Now what do you think will be the outcome of the two? Unless you have a super super nice LEO or you have a super good reason for speeding, you are getting a ticket on the second one for admitting a crime. I almost never look at my speedo unless there are no cars and I'm driving alone. Any other time, "I'm driving with the flow of traffic any slower and I would be a hazard."
Unless asked I wouldn't tell a LEO I'm carrying. As stated previously if asked if I was or asked to get out of the car with my hands held on the wheel, "I have a (state) license to carry (if applicable) and am carrying on my waist, how would you like me to proceed."
If asked to get of the car and I wasn't carrying, I would not say anything, but as soon as I was out of the car the door would be shut and locked.
If asked if I was carrying a firearm and I wasn't but I had a firearm in my car, it would be a tough call for answering I probably would divulge that I am not carrying but I was on the way to the range and have a properly secured firearm in the trunk. He can see my license (if applicable) but he won't be seeing the firearm with consent from me.
