As mentioned above and I've also been told by a magistrate that police officers were trained in estimating speed sufficient to give a ticket and that it was recognized in court. That was many years ago, however, so maybe that doesn't hold.
My guess is the officer will simply state he was giving you a break at 50.
By the way, if the judge or magistrate asks you, "well how fast were you going then, sir". I don't know is bad response. Lying is also a bad response.
And for fun, I recall years ago on a trip back from skiing in Colorado my friend got pulled over in the middle of the night. I was sleeping in the back of the van and the wig wags woke me up.
The officer approached our van and my friend says, "why did you pull me over, I was only going 70?"
His response? "Sir, here is your ticket for going 70 in a 65". I still laugh at that.........he doesn't, but I always do.
