No. The question itself is not evidence - the answer is. The question is so that you can put the answer in context.
That's the technical answer anyway. I assume you are asking about doing your traffic trial. If you were to ask a question of then officer like "Well, I was going 75, but not 85 as you claim, isn't that right?" it would be hard for a traffic judge to separate that damaging admission.
