One of two options:

1. Take it to a hearing officer and get it off your record, if you don't have another offense in a year. Pay the fine and keep it off your record or your insurance WILL go up.

2. Take it to court and say you were following a safe distance but the person behind you was tailgating and didn't want them to rear end you. You might get off with a warning. My dad had a following too close ticket and cost him a lot of money on his insurance for a few years, and he's never had a speeding ticket.

Personally I would take it to a hearing officer and get it removed from your record and just pay the fine, rather than take it to court.
