It is very difficult to "beat" a traffic ticket outright: the court will almost invariable believe the trained, sworn, and theoretically impartial (nothing at stake) police officer over a driver trying to avoid a ticket. What you can do is discuss the matter with the prosecutor the day of trial but before court: state the facts but calmly (don't fight/argue); if you otherwise have a good driving record, it is highly likely he will let you plead to a lesser offense (fewer points or smaller fine).
