I was driving north behind another car on a two lane highway, posted speed limit 55. I was possibly/likely exceeding the limit, but I honestly don't know as I was helping my wife review a map (still carefully driving, though). The policeman coming south radared the car ahead of me. She slowed immediately, probably giving the impression that I was accelerating on her. Policeman turned around, pulled me over, she stopped too. I asked if he clocked me with Radar, he said yes several times. After we both got tickets for 70mph in a 55, I asked again how he could clock two cars with one radar and he affirmed that's what he did. I asked to see the radar gun, and saw it said "70" (her northbound speed) and "52" (his southbound speed). I asked again where my speed was recorded, and he said he actually got me on a visual, relative to her. The ticket is marked "radar". Do I have a chance of winning if I go to court? Any help is deeply appreciated.
