You are over-worried. I have one parking ticket $135 and one speeding ticket $131. Both need to go to court. Going to court just like going to Casino and chances are better than Casino. When the fine is reduced you lose less. When the fine is not reduced you lose a bit more. Think it positively, you create jobs for our community when you need an interpreter in the court, and the more people go to court, the more clerk or judges need to be hired, or may need to expand the courtroom. You create more jobs for the country.
You may say it waste taxpayers' money. True! But Governments don't give a damn to spent, who gives a damn to be in Casino. Of course, you need to do the math if you lose one day's pay for going to the court you should think it twice.
