my take on it, and ive done this SEVERAL times as well as had friends do it...unless you CANT make it to court, why pay some attorney to go and do EXACTLY what you are going to do, stand there in front of the judge, if the cops are there you plea "no-contest" which means you arent 'fighting' the ticket you are basicly asking mercy from the court system to be lineint on you this time if you have a decent driving record...here in Pasco county the judges ALWAYS withold points from the license and usually assess a lesser fine than the one cited...
