Quoting

My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of California.
Hi all,
I received a speeding ticket in December 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA. I heard that cops have a quota that they have to fill each year, so they tend to write tickets more often at the end of the year. Is that correct? Anyways, when I was going on central expressway, which had some slope downwards, I was caught in radar at 68mph in 50mph zone. It felt like a trap to me, going downhill and a cop waiting at the end. Officer noted down weather was clear, road was dry traffic is moderate. I believe that I was not endangering safety of anyone or any property, since there was none near or close to me. I already went to traffic school 4 months ago. What should I do? I learned that there is an advanced traffic school, but if I do so, the fact that I attended that school will be visible insurance companies. So my premium will go higher anyway. Maybe I should try fighting this ticket since there is nothing much to lose. What do you recommend? What's my chance of winning at the court?
Thank you all in advance for your replies!
