Legal Question in Traffic Law in Georgia

I received a following too closely ticket in Georgia (O.C.G.A 40-6-49) where no traffic accident occured. The weather was 80 and sunny with no water/road impediments, and both I and the car in front of me were traveling barely above the speed limit (52 in a 50). Should i contest this ticket?
