Every person, everyday violates the law in some shape or form, even if they realize it or not. If the peace officer knows his/her stuff, you can get a ticket for just about anything. If it helps you sleep better at night because you knew you were in the wrong, pay it. Not to say that it is the right thing to do or not, but you got caught (even if the every single person passing you while you were stopped was speeding), the officer pulled YOU over gave you a cite and that's the end of the story. IMO even if you knew you were wrong, it doesn't make you a bad person to attempt to dismiss the cite.
