Its a first ticket, he is young and probably doesnt have much of a chance in court. His "flawless driving record" is only because he has no years under his belt, this is not an advantage in court.. and fighting a speeding citation is NOT a good citation to try to beat.

What he should do is this: extend the citation/court date. Take your chances going to court, maybe the cop will show, maybe he wont. Its a risk but its worth the try. Second, if the cop does show just plead guilty and request to lower the citations fine since he is a student, etc. Pay the ticket, go to traffic school.. done. It wont be on your record and you'll get away as cheap as possible.
