Only if you can afford a clever (and therefore expensive) solicitor and barrister.
I contested a case without professional representation and was told 'the court accepts your evidence, but finds against you' . . .
I had got the road gradients from the County Council and provided calculations (I'm an engineer, remember) of the power available and the weight of the vehicle (which was pulling a trailer) and showed that the speed suggested by the police (who had shot out from a side road and hadn't 'followed' me - way before radar or vascar) was impossible.
Copper lied in court (!) then followed me when I left the court . . .
