Most traffic tickets are not worth fighting and in most cases you'll lose the case for the traffic ticket anyway.

It's only worth it to fight a traffic ticket if you are truly not at fault and the traffic ticket will raise your insurance rates.

If you get a traffic ticket and you know you're at fault then fighting the traffic ticket is not worth the time and court cost on top of the traffic ticket.

If you cannot prove that you are not guilty or deserving of the traffic ticket then that traffic ticket will still need to be paid and you may have to pay even more fees.

If I knew I was at fault for the traffic ticket then I would simply get the traffic ticket paid and move on and not waste my time in court.

I hate going to court and will avoid court when possible.
