Some states like california allow you take your traffic school over the internet. Basically you go online and answer like 10 easy questions and your done. But If your ticket is only 1-10 miles over Id go to court. Generally these are thrown out. Ive sucessfully beat several traffic citations. Usually by claiming it was a busy street and the officer must have mistaken which vehicle he radar'd or that a truck was passing me and he must have got the top of the truck skewing the reading.
There is usually no arraignement etc as its a civil infraction not a criminal case. And if the speed was lowered by the officer and not the court he won't show up anyway as he is not going to want to explain to the judge why the reading on your ticket does not match the radar.. one could assume he was not confident in the reading and made up his own.
also If your previous ticket was over 6 years old it won't come up.
