As you may know by now, if you read one of my posts
today, I'm in roughly the same boat with a speeding
ticket. So I have been researching this. A huge
majority (somthing like 90% plus) of people cited with
traffic violations pay the fine and don't bother with
court. Of those who go to court, 65% emerge with no
ticket or a reduced fine and points on their driving
record. I found an interesting web site about all this
at:

Even if you don't have a ticket to deal with, I think
this stuff is important to know...because they are out
there waiting for you with those ray guns ready to shoot.
