I've never gotten a speeding ticket my whole life, but that's due to a combination of luck and avoiding driving as much as possible...because it's inevitably going to happen the more miles you drive.

I've never got a speeding ticket in my life and I've put over a quarter million collective kilometres on my vehicles.

Saying "it's inevitable" is not just wrong, but laughably so. It's posted right on the side of the road what you need to do to not get a ticket: don't let the little number on your dial go above the big number on the sign and you're golden.

This is not nearly as difficult as you're making it out to be.

But the anxiety definitely has an effect. I'm always checking for cops in likely hiding spots, it's stressful, and the distraction of a cop camped out is way more likely to get me into an accident than my driving speed.

Have you tried not speeding? Because that works pretty well for me. I don't need to worry about watching out for cops when I'm not doing anything for them to pull me over.

There's countless stupid infractions they can pull you over for, and they just need a "suspicion" you might be in violation of them.
Even when I'm going the speed limit I'm watching out for cops, and if one's behind me I try to find somewhere to turn off the road for a bit to get the cop off my ass as soon as I can. The nice cops will just illegally pass me really early on (I don't even get upset about them blatantly breaking the law, it's saving me a lot of stress), but some are content to just tail gate for miles.
