Dan,
Your best bet to avoid points and insurance surcharges is to
hire a lwayer *from* that area. Expect to pay about the same in legal fees as
you would otherwise pay against the fine BUT it stays off your record
meaning less future expenses. Well worth the cost and hassle.
Alternately, you can opt to defend yourself, but realize that
you had better be glib and polished. Get help from the National Motorists
Association, go here: http://www.motorists.org/issues/tickets/index.html
Good luck.
