I never understood why people would just pre-pay the ticket. They are giving you a chance to go to court, and the judge MAY grant you some le-way. But, if you just pre-pay you are giving up that chance. Just because people online are telling you judges won't accept it, doesn't mean shit. You never know how that judge woke up that morning, what mood he/she is in, or how forgiving they are feeling. Worse thing that happens is you get found guilty and end up paying anyway. Seems logical to atleast see what the judge will do.
