Do you have traffic school there? We have that in FL.
We have options of online (which sucks), and live comedy traffic school (which is lame but really easy) you can go to that will take a percentage off the price of your ticket (although you have to pay for the school so that kind of evens out) but it also does not put points on your license because of your ticket and in most cases you insurance doesn't go up.
ANd with the comedy traffic school (its like 2 hours for one night) you get a free ticket to a comedy club too.
If not, going to court, if you are good at arguing your case, is probably your best bet for lowering the fine.
Wow, free tickets to a comedy club! That's Sweet! What do I have to do to get tickets to the football game? Park in a handicapped spot or get caught with some marijuana? haha... Anyways, the worst ticket I ever got was 130 in a 70. Got pulled over by an undercover, red mustang convertible. I thought he was trying to race me. Ticket only cost $60. not bad. First ticket was in my first car, '75 Triumph Spitfire. Top speed (as measured by Hwy Patrol radar) was 70 mph, downhill.
