Got a speeding ticket for a speed i wasn't going?!

So the other day on my way home from work i got pulled over and given a ticket for 128km! I was passing a vehicle at the time, in a passing lane on the highway, and was going 115km according to my vehicle. I tried to tell the officer this and that i was a bit baffled at how he could have clocked me at that speed(128km). He told me that he could also tell 'visually' that i was travelling way too fast. When he gave me the ticket he asked if i had ever had one before and i said no so he showed me the dates in which i had to make payment and told me to have a safe drive home and relax. Seriously? Relax? I have never had a speeding ticket before, the only ticket i have ever had was for having no money in a parking meter, i'm from a small town(no meters) and was in a rush so i never even thought. I paid that ticket right away because i knew i was in the wrong. If i had of gotten a ticket for the 115km that i was driving i would't be complaining but i'm kinda ticked 'bout this one. My family say fight it but i dont see how i can, who are they gonna believe a nobody lady or a cop? Has this happened to anybody else? Does anybody know if its worth me fighting it?
