I would suggest traffic school if it is available. It doesnt put a point on your record so your insurance shouldnt go up but you will have to pay money and spend a couple hours listening to someone yack yack yack. Some places they have "Traffic School With Humor".

Just take one of those online traffic school.

request a discovery for the officer and the equipment used in the ticketing.

Personally from my experience you dont have too much of a chance in CA of beating a ticked (short of the officer not showing up). Most of the judges have heard just about everything by now.

Just buy a K40 radar and laser detection system for your car. They will pay the ticket if the systems fails to jam the radar/block the laser.
I've never gotten a speeding ticket.
