ok ok ok I'll type proper. And missmey is right, it really depends on the judge, if they will accept the class or not. I took the class and went to court because i didn't want the points on my license because they can really limit what you can do. so find out what u can about what the judge accepts. some judges in my county accept the class, and some dont, but the class does place positive points on your license which can help you out. the positive points are done through the DMV not the judge so you will get plus points one way or another if you take the class. If you dont care about having a few points on your license then just pay it. it will be easier and cheaper
