What do you think my chances are of contesting a speeding ticket and winning in court?

On 1/25/08 at 8:15 PM. I was going East and the State Cop was going West, then made a U turn to pull me over. He said he clocked me at 65 in a 45 mile zone, but I told him I was going 60 (I know because I had my cruise control set for 60). He gave me a break and put me at 55 so that I could pay $85 by mail (which I can handle) but I am concerned about my Auto Insurance going up since now I have a new speeding record. I am a 59 year old respectable woman and the last time I was pulled over for speeding in the same state was 2/10/06 and before that, 11/22/02. I didn’t give him any lip, but geez I was going to be late for work. I travel 84 miles a day (round trip) to work 5 days a week and I happened to be running late because of a neighbors stressful (the State took her 3 children into custody) phone call and she was crying her eyes out! I hated to hang up on her so ubruptly, so I had to make up for it with speeding. I work at a casino and they are very strict about tardiness!
No, kencab, I didn’t ramble on. I only told him that I thought I was going 60. I rambled on to Yahoo Answers to give you all the information you would need to help me make a decision in whether or not I might stand a chance if I appealed it in court hoping that the Cop won’t show up, but thanks for your answer anyway, it’s appreciated.
Thank you Marc X, I appreciate your expertise and constructive criticism, and thanks to everyone for your help.
Okay guys listen up! I’m not looking for a “Free Ride”! I said “I have no problem paying the ticket”. I was just concerned about it going against my insurance. I wondered if it was possible to pay the ticket in court but having the judge squash it after I pay so my insurance doesn’t go up again!
