help needed on speeding ticket



Finally I got my first speeding ticket when I was about to renew my
drivers license....The PA cop said I was at 70 mph in a posted 45 mph
construction zone, passing two 45 mph signs and him (regular speed
limit is 65 mph).  I believe I only passed one 45 mph sign at 60-65 mph
and slowed down to 45-50 mph when I was about to pass him.
The ticket is $115.50, with fine 50, e.m.s. 10, cat 30, costs 24, etc.
I don't know how he came up with these numbers.  The PA town is about
70 min driving from here.  Should I plead not guilty (at least try to
reduce the fine)? -- will I get points if plead guilty?  Is it worth
making the effort to appeal in the court? .... I'd like to hear any
comments/suggestions!                   Bill
