Biggest suggestion I can make is fork over the $'s then go forth and sin no more. The other suggestion is to show up in court at least 30 minutes early (They frown on people who show late). Try to talk to the prosecuting attorney, ask if there is ANYTHING you can do (be nice to him/her). If they are in a good mood, they will work something out with you that will be better then paying the full fine and/or points. If you can't get to prosecutor ask the judge to take it under advisement. What that means is you know you are guilty but you are leaving it up to the judge to determine what the penalties will be (Yes you are throwing yourself at the mercy of the court). Now this can either work for you or against you depending on how their day has gone and how many idiots they had to work with that day. Note, don't dress like you're worth a million bucks or you will pay in full. Nothing says "I have money to burn" like a double-breasted suit. Wear simple khaki pants (Ironed not pressed) and a button up shirt. Nicely cropped hair never hurts either. Good luck whatever you decision is. I know it sucks, paid my fair share of "Extra curricular road Taxes" myself. [/QUOTE]
