I agree with others, head to court. If you can take pictures. Hopefully the cop won't show up. Get to court early and speak to the prosecutor and you may be able to work out a deal and plead to something else. Of course, if you're going for an all out acquittal then the deal route isn't for you.
Make sure you have a good reason why you suddenly decided not to exit. Like, "I remembered I was supposed to pick up dry cleaning for my wife at a place off the next exit". If you did actually go and stop somewhere right after the fact further down the highway and you've got a receipt, bring it to court with you. Just make sure there is a reasonable reason behind your trip there. You can't really say "I needed to get gas" if there was a gas station at the exit you chose not to use.
Good luck with it. Let us know how it turns out.
BTW, what's the fine for that offense? Any points?
