Speeding and other traffic offenses are strict liability laws, so while most crimes require you to have criminal intent to be prosecuted just the fact that you commited this act is enough for you to be held responsible, so no reason you give for it will be enough to have the judge let you off. Chances are that you will have to pay the fine, I'd still fight it if it isn't too far to go though, the judge may have mercy on you and give a one-year suspended dissposition which is like saying if you promise to be a good boy for a year and commit no more crimes they'll just forget all about it.
