If you don’t want to go to court you can:
Pay the fine by mail
Pay to go to traffic school or
Have a trial by mail
If you plead guilty and pay the fine, you will get points on your driving record and your car insurance premiums may increase.
However, if you don’t go to court or pay the fine, your license can be suspended and the court can charge you with a misdemeanor and issue a warrant for your arrest.
