What State?

Texas and some other states have options to take a safe driving class to have the ticket dismissed. Some also have a type of driving probation. If you request it, your ticket gets placed on hold for 6 months. If you get another ticket, you’ll pay for both, but if you don’t the ticket get’s wiped. Both can keep you from getting the points, and insurance hike, but won’t save you much money in the short term.

If you’re not sure you can challenge it and win, it doesn’t hurt to go to court and talk to the Prosecutors office. Sometimes they can reduce it. (ie you might pay the same fine but they withhold issuing points to your license)

When they call your name you should jump up and down and run down the aisle like it’s The Price Is Right and then give the Judge a kiss on the cheek.

it depends on the judge and what kind of mood they are in
but whatever you do PLEASE DON’T LIE OR MAKE ANY KIND OF UGLY/SMART COMMENT ABOUT THE OFFICER THAT GAVE YOU THE TICKET if this is your first time maybe the judge will let you off with a warning
