Unhappy Speeding Ticket

Star had to go to Daytona for a couple of days. Decided to take I-75 to Ocala and head East on SR-40. Called me from her motel and tells me she got a speeding ticket. Of course she was in "Lil'Brat". She told me she had been following this semi "for miles" and finally got a clear shot to pass him. In the left lane "hitting it" and radar goes off! She gets back in and the Statie makes a u-turn and pulls her over. He had clocked the semi at 62 (60 zone) and got her at 72. Knocked it down to 69. I've always been told that you could "speed" while passing as long as you came back down to the limit when passed. I know, I know if the semi was doing 62 why pass? We all have been stuck behind a semi and know that their speed varys and once you are ahead of them you generally stay ahead. The cop wouldn't listen and gave her the ticket anyway. $139...should I fight it? In Daytona???
