Just answer the charges you received. You got a play on the moving violation. The judge won't start asking all kinds of questions.

The judge cannot "throw in " the speeding ticket. It was the officers discretion to NOT issue you the speeding ticket. A judge has no legal authority to issue anyone a speeding ticket, or make any kind of an arrest. The only thing he/she can put you in jail for is contempt of court. But the judge will already know that you were pulled over for speeding since the officer will have written an incident report about the ........incident. You're safe.

The judge cannot add the speeding charge in trial. If you want to make 100% sure, you can say that he thought you were speeding, but you remember going to the speed limit.
No, a judge can't write you a speeding ticket. If you do have registration and insurance, producing proof at court will get you off free, with no fine or anything (in most states).

The judge won't ask you why you were pulled over. Your best bet would be to show the court a current registration and current insurance card without trying to get the officer in trouble, which would not work anyway. The judge is well aware that they sometimes take pity on someone dumb enough to speed when they obviously know they are driving illegally.

If he didnt cite you for speeding, then as far as the court is concerned. ..you weren't speeding
The officer gave you a break. Be grateful. Just get the car registered and show proof of insurance. If the car wasnt insured at the time of the citation, its gonna be a nice hefty fine. If you dont have insurance when you appear before the judge, its going to be a fine and a suspended license.
If you dont show up, its going to be a huge fine, suspended license and a bench warrant.
Get yourself car insurance and take care of this. Its just money and not worth the aggravation or ulcers that comes with driving around in mortal fear of being pulled over.

The Officer gave you a warning on the speed. That will most likely be in the Officer's narrative regarding the stop.
The warning is Officer's discretion. The judge would NEVER add another charge that the officer didn't charge you with in the first place.
If you contest it in court the Officer will be there to testify, and will cover his reason for stop during his testimony.

The judge will not add the speeding charge. This is an infraction and must be observed by the issuing officer. The judge didn't see you speeding so can't charge you. The speeding in this case would be the probable cause for stopping you.

Why go to court? Just pay the fines and provide proof of documentation.
