Yeah if you have cheap access to a lawyer(a friend) then do it. Because alot of times cops have radar guns that have not been checked in a while, and they are expired. Lawyer is always a good bet to get out of tickets, especially if this is final ticket of many that will land the big fine.

Plus always show up to court and present a clean record if you have one. If you don't have a good record, bring verification of any driver improvement classes you have been to.

If you go to court and try to argue with the judge about what is fair and what is not, without a lawyer, you will be screwed.

Either go alone and plead no contest, and briefly explain how you were going with the flow and you didnt know you were speeding but you understand it is hazardous. Basically bend over and apologize. If you are gonna plead not guilty and try to explain what is right and wrong, get a lawyer.
