Thoroughly review your ticket first...

Even the smallest screw up might help you...if your name has not been spelled right...age not put in right...if the officer put in the wrong street name..anything...it'll help you coz it'll by default cause your case to be dismissed at court..no fines no points taken off.

If it's not too much of a hassle actually going to court like many guys before me already mentioned is not a bad idea. You might walk out with few points/ dollars shaved off or completely waived. Also if the cop that pulled you over doesn't show up at the hearing, the case more likely will simply get dismissed. Going to court is simply about taking chances..chances of coming out on top is pretty high.

If all else fails, Like Gajjab suggested...you can always take the Deffered payment option and opt for a Defensive Driving Course...which you can take online for $25 and is like a 6 hour course. As far as i know they won't take any points off if you do this but you will still have to cough up some green -just not as much. But you will save atleast half or even more of the cost.

Hope it helps
