I got a ticket in Mass on I-90 going 75 in a 55 mph zone via a state trooper and radar driving my mom?s new E-class with her in it! My hearing is this Monday AM. Other than saying that the cop is a liar I was looking for some advice from this brilliant group of fast car drivers on contesting it. The ticket is checked both radar and estimated. There was a bus in the middle lane of a three lane hi-way and I was in the passing lane beside the bus when I saw the Statey. 
You should've been aware of the consequences

There are similar threads so a search may help, but -
try postponing the hearing as many times as they will allow you and attempt to reschedule for a different day of the week. Most cops and DA's work together to schedule all of a cops trials for the same day. If you get your trial moved to another day, there is a decent chancethe cop will not show up. He will not waste a day off for a single ticket.
The other advice is to go early, talk to the DA, and offer to pay the full fine for a no-point or reduced point violation. Will still cost you money, but you will not take an insurance hit.
