IMHO, it always pays to plead "not guilty" to a ticket and go to court. I received two tickets - one for running a stop sign, one for doing 54 in a 35. For both of them, I pleaded not guilty, showed up for court in my best suit, talked to everyone politely, didn't speak out of turn, acted and reacted responsibly, and wound up with two relatively expensive parking tickets (no points) instead. It was like going back to antiquated 1930s manners, but it was worth it to not have the points. Unless you're an asshole when you get to court, it usually can't get much worse than what the ticket was for in the first place.
