Next time, ask nothing, offer nothing. Be courteous, but don't ask why, don't admit to even being unsure. Take note of every circumstance. Were there trees between the cop and you? Anything that could obstruct his view? Anything he may not remember? A like colored car beside you? The only reason to ever pay a fine is for speeding captured on radar.
I'm not saying make shit up, but the best chance you ever get is when a cop says in traffic court, "I don't recall.."
Other than that, traffic school can be fun. You get a neat certificate.
