Iam a law enforcement officer in Florida and can only give you some ideas, Im sure that some of the laws are different. First, if he gave you a speeding ticket did he use radar,laser or pace you. In Florida or at least my county of employment, the patrol vehicle or unmarked vehicle's speedometer has to be calibrated "certified" as accurate every 4 months. If i pull someone over by pacing and the speedometer is not certified, the ticket gets thrown out. If he paced you, see if his department has anytype of rules or laws regarding that. Also if you contest the ticket with an attorney, have the attorney contact the officer to see if he (the officer) is willing to with hold adjudication. what that means is pay the fine but withhold the points and driving school. I hope that this info is of some help.
Although one has to look at the whole picture and we dont know what the officer's perception of things were, based on the information you gave us, I feel the citation was not appropriate. keep us updated.
good luck,
Suriel
