OK…whats the back story on this?
Now how this works;
1.Go to court on given date, site in the court room with roughly 5-50people and wait till your name gets called. (you will get to watch lots of people go up and see how the whole shit-bang unfolds)
2.You will go in front of the judge, he will ask you how u plea, you say, “not guilty” or “guilty…but, would like to go to school”, ect. (not guilty, usually the best response)
3.Judge will either allow u to plea “not guilty” and tell u to come back so the D.A. and u can set up a time for school and the lower fine, or dismissed, ect. OR the judge will be having a bad day and stick it to u. (tip: no matter how annoying, aggrivating this shit is…kiss the judge’s ass, ex:" yes, your honor/sir" no “yup/nope” answers.)
4.Come back to court on the next scheduled date, sign in, get called to talk to DA or u will get called in front of the judge and the DA will go up with u, they will set the fine and/or date for schooling.
-
Go to school, try not to fall asleep.
-
go back to court with slip from school (proof that u went) pay fine.
-
The End
Good Luck
BTW: those tickets can be dismissed if ur a good b.s.'er 
or they vary between $50-$200 depending on if the cop adds his side or not.
