If he appeals it, the Appeals court will only look at the actions of the court and the verdict, not the relevant facts to the case. For something of this nature where the facts of the case were contested he would lose an appeal.

I said "No kidding I accelerated faster than you, so to close any gap you would have to go faster"
After giving me a verbal lashing and running my info she let me go. I think she figured out how dumb she was.

No matter how much you talk back, the basic premise is you were breaking the law. Which is why it is better to just be cordial with the officer and hope for a warning. When pulled over is not the time/place to have a confrontation. You're only making it worse on yourself.

I've been pulled over because the Day I got my registration I didn't have an inspection sticker. I was driving home FROM the inspection office with the passed inspection report printout, only problem was the 1 person who gives out the stickers wasn't there. Explained it to the cop and got a fix it ticket. Had my sticker the next day, no big deal. He just wanted to see my car up close, didn't help his case 2 other cops went extremely slowly past me on the side of the road.
Moral of the story: Treat them with respect, get off. Treat them with lip, get stiffer punishment.
