ive had a few experiences with traffic offenses, and im now in law school learning it from the other side....my advice: as long as you have the free time to get down to the court house on the particular day, do it. First, cops dont show up most of the time. Second, the courts couldnt be bothered when there is more serious offenses to be dealt with (I remember way back going to juvenile court to fight an LRT ticket and there was kids getting charged with grand theft auto and drug possession in excess of $5000, I was the least of their worry). When it comes to traffic court fight everything! Worst case scenario you pay the original fine, best case scenario you get off free. Most likely you pay a reduced rate somewhere in the middle. (In my experience you usually get off free)
