When people get tickets their main concern is usually trying to keep a point from the violation off their driving record so their auto insurance rates do not go up. When you get a ticket there are only two ways to avoid the point from going on your driving record: (1) fight the ticket and have it get dismissed at court, and (2) pay the fine and attend traffic school.

Then you can decide whether to plead guilty or have the trial on the trial date. So it just depends on if you want to do this or not.
