I would contest that ticket. If he had you on radar he would have shown you the reading, it sounds like he just estimated your speed and has no actual proof to make the case. The downside is you will have to take the time to make an appearance in traffic court. However the officer may realize when you contest it, that the case is relatively weak and he may not even show up which means automatic dismissal. There is a risk though that he will show up, which means you should be prepared to fight it with a proper legal argument. Or you can plead no contest at the hearing when your case is called, and ask for a reduction in fine and for traffic school. Either way if you show respect to the court I think you will end up saving money over just paying the fine outright.
