I was driving in the furthest left lane when a car came up essentially tailgating me. I had then sped up (to pass other cars) to move over to let the tailgater pass but by then the vehicle had already passed me on the right. A cop then pulled us both over and cited me for going 83mph and told me that I should have yielded to the faster car and I told him how was I to safely yield that when the impatient driver took the lane? He did not say a thing. I left as he started to cite the other vehicle. Do I have grounds to fight this or is this heresay and the judge will deny me traffic school?

The fact that another car was on your tail does not justify breaking the speed limit. You should not waste your time or the court's - pay the fine and attend traffic school.

An attorney familiar with the policies and procedures of the court will know the likelihood of negotiating such a resolution given the circumstances of your case.
