Failure to obey officer?

On my way home from work I saw a police car with an officer next to it. I had taken my contact lenses out due to irritation and could not see exactly what his hand motions were. I thought he was directing traffic to go to another direction so I turned onto a residential street. I then saw the officer follow me with his lights on so i pulled over. He said I was speeding and failed to respond to his command to pull over before I turned. I did not realize I was speeding and I did not realize he was motioning me to pull over before I turned. Now i have a ticket for speeding and failure to obey the officer's command.

Can I get into serious trouble from this?
