My only advice is fight it I fight them all. 9 out of 10 times I win. A 
few years back in Novi I fought one I was doing 127 in a 65 he wrote me 
for 85 in a 65 and put 134 Actual on the ticket. I told the magistrate 
that it was not my ticket he only wrote me for 20 over and I was doing 
atleast 127. The magistrate looked at me and said are you serous I said 
dead dead serious I was on I 96 in a supercharged stang there was no way 
I was only doing 85. He dismissed the ticket and I don't drive in Novi 
anymore.
Good luck I would not try the above it could get you tossed in jail.
