If you have not paid the ticket yet, go to court. If the officer does not show, the ticket is automatically dismissed. If you show, you may get a little leniency if you are apologetic. If you get a couple of points knocked off, it can save big on your insurance. You might also be able to take a traffic school course which can alsl knock some points off your license. I went to court one time in MD, and the only person who paid the full price was a woman who denied everything. Everyone else offered guilty with an explanation and got a reduced ticket. My officer did not show, so my ticket was dismissed.
