even if you don't have representation you have a 45% chance of the case being dismissed just because the officer that issued you the ticket does not appear in court

Those were the good old days. When we were younger we would always be crossing our fingers hoping the officer wouldn't show up. Now he doesn't need to. I guess this would all depend on your location and the laws in your jurisdiction but that trick no longer works in NY.
I would still go to court though. You can usualy get it reduced to a non moving violation if you smile and act sorry. Sometimes they automaticaly assume thats why you are there and reduce it right away.
