The only thing I can add to your misery is, you have little or no chance of winning your case without the assistance of legal counsel. Without an attorney you will loose your case using the same argument your attorney will use to win.
My record is clean for the past ten years or so. Not because I don't get tickets, I do. It's because I have found an attorney who specializes in traffic tickets and he rarely looses a case. He has taken care of every ticket I have received along with every friend I have sent to him. It's a bit spendy but in the long run, it's more than reasonable to keep a clean record. And like the attorney says, if you have a clean record the cop that pulls you over is much more apt to let you off with a warning!
