In this case, ask to see the display on the radar unit to verify 
what the cop said.  If he says 58, you should see a big "58" on
the display.  Then in court, request the preceding 5 tickets as
evidence.  If the last 5 tickets the cop gave out were for 58, you
probably have a corrupt cop that didn't reset the unit from the
first speeder.  Don't laugh at this trick, it's more common than
you think.  If I get one, I'll not stop at getting out of the 
ticket, I'll get a lawyer and nail the cop for as much as I can,
up to and beyond his job.  Cops are human and make mistakes, but this
kind of activity is flat out criminal.
