Has anyone had any success in fighting speeding tickets? I recently received one from RCMP on a Manitoba highway. I was speeding, but it was after passing someone on a single lane highway. I was caught as i was slowing down after making the pass (and car behind me was suddenly speeding up for some reason). Officer said i wasn't slowing down quick enough otherwise he wouldn't have written ticket.

I was going 121 km/h in 100 km/h zone. Ticket is $338 which seems a little high. It's my first ticket from an actual officer at the window of the car. I normally don't speed.
