There is a system to contesting tickets. First the instruments used by the trooper have to be verified as being correctly calibrated and acurate. Ask to see some verification that the radar was calibrated and tested recently (don't know the exact time line-depends on state). Second if you can cast some doubt in the judge's mind by rigorously cross examining the trooper as to the conditions that day i.e. other vehicles, your vehicle, weather, obstructions in the line of vision, etc... while of course claiming that you were not speeding but in fact the car next to was. Of course if you fail then there will be no reductions and you'll have to pay the full amount.
Everytime I have gone to contest the cop didn't show up.
also proof is always good such as affadavits, satellite photos, character witnesses and your mother can't hurt either...lol...just kidding leave your mom at home.
there are websites that contest ticket but they charge half of what the ticket would cost.
