Locally the cop writes what the actual offense is in a small box next to the official offense. So there is no way of trying to insist that one was not speeding, did not run the stop sign, etc. The judge knows that the cop already gave you a break.
A 9 over ticket is really just an income generator.
Showing up can help in some cases. My son was successful in getting a ticket reduced by going to court, being polite, and dressing nice. The judge had him have a conference with the cop, and he agreed to reduce it.
Personally, if I'm speeding then I'd pay the ticket.
